The Curious Case of Katherine Sinclair is a cabaret framed as a murder mystery led by the victim herself. The production combines elements of jukebox musical theatre, comedy, and investigative drama in a genre-blending stage format.
Set in a status-conscious urban world shaped by image and reputation, the story follows the disappearance of socialite Katherine Sinclair after her murder. With no body recovered, a cast of suspects including her husband, closest confidants, former lovers, and an eccentric detective attempt to reconstruct the events surrounding her death. The narrative plays with theatrical conventions by placing the murdered woman at the centre of the storytelling.
The production features performances by Megan Armstrong-Davies, Amy Reed, Daniel von Hoesslin, and Stephan Fourie. Structured as a cabaret, the show incorporates live musical performance alongside dialogue-driven scenes and ensemble storytelling. Drawing on the conventions of classic whodunnits while reworking them through contemporary cabaret and jukebox theatre, the production explores themes of identity, performance, and public image.
