A group of Monash medical students is playing detective in a Melbourne Fringe Festival comedy this week.
The 25 students will perform Dun to Death -- a spoof on the 'whodunnit' detective genre - at the Gasworks Theatre in Albert Park from today, Thursday 6 October until Saturday 8 October.
Dun to Death was written by final-year medical student Mr Andrew Dixon, and involves 25 of his fellow students as cast and crew.
Mr Dixon describes the play as a farcical murder mystery set to the accompaniment of a live four-piece jazz band.
"It is a murder mystery in which a millionaire hosts a get together for some of the most famous fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Clouseau of the Pink Panther movies, Miss Marple of Agatha Christie's novels and even the character of Dana Scully from the X-Files television series," Mr Dixon says.
Dun to Death is the second comedy by Mr Dixon, whose debut success, Betty and Bruce, was performed at Theatreworks in 2002.
