A scene from the Curious Case of Katherine St. Clare.
Socialite Katherine Sinclair’s perfect life has unraveled in the most inconvenient way possible: she has been murdered, her body has completely vanished, and the chief suspects—a haughty husband and a string of questionable lovers—are all being played, rather suspiciously, by the exact same man.
This July, the Star Theatre at The Homecoming Centre will play host to The Curious Case of Katherine Sinclair, a genre-bending jukebox cabaret that boldly flips the traditional murder mystery script on its head by letting the deceased victim tell her own story.
Moving away from the predictable nostalgia of large-scale commercial musicals, this sharp, actor-driven production trades massive sets for pure imagination, offering a fast-paced and irreverent theatrical experience where the music has effectively undergone therapy and nobody can be trusted.
Set in a city obsessed with appearances, the dark comedy weaves together fractured timelines to invite the audience directly into a world of wealth, deception, and desire. At the centre of the chaos is Katherine herself—glamorous, elusive, and armed with the best lines in the show—accompanied by a flamboyant detective who is equal parts brilliant and theatrical.
