"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" 

The Soquel High School Knights of the Square Stage present a different kind of musical: The Mystery of Edwin Drood, book, music and lyrics by Rupert Holmes. Show times are Friday and Saturday, May 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 7:30 PM and on May 12, 19 at 3 PM at Soquel High School MPR.

Tickets are $12 general admission/$10 ASB and are available at the door. Contact Maggie Kline, director, at SHS, 831 429-3909 x158 for additional information.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood is the final novel by Charles Dickens. The novel was unfinished at the time of Dickens' death and the ending remains unknown. Consequently, the identity of the murderer remains subject to debate.

This musical, this whodunit, will have the audience deciding who the lovers are, who the sleuth Dick Datchery is and who killed Edwin Drood-a different ending EACH night! Don’t miss this exciting theatrical experience that will leave you astounded.
