The Butler’s back…

If you’ve ever wanted to kill off a character in a show, Justin Wilkinson’s latest murder-mystery is your chance.

If you’ve ever wanted to kill off a character in a show, Justin Wilkinson’s latest murder-mystery is your chance.


Butlers and Billionaires will be playing at the National Arts Festival as part of the fringe comedy line-up. And this time, the stakes are higher than ever.

When a wealthy playboy is found dead in his mansion, all evidence seems to point to his eccentric Benoni butler. 

However, as the investigation into the murder deepens, it appears that all is not as it seems… and anyone could be a suspect.

The show is an edge-of-your-seat, exhilarating ride with eccentric characters, outrageous antics and twisting plots right up to the final scene.

And, in good old ‘Butlers’ tradition, the audience, as always, gets to choose throughout the performance what happens next.

Anyone who has seen a 'Butlers' show will tell you that the delight of being able to effectively direct the action on stage is part of the experience.

Wilkinson has found a formula here that works: the actors rehearse multiple variations of the script and each audience choice sends the story down a different path in every performance. 

With a different outcome to each show, "Even the actors have no idea which way the audience is going to vote", says Wilkinson.
He plays one of the many outlandish characters the audience is introduced to."

"No one knows which one of us will be the villain at the end and that's what makes it so much fun."

This whodunit masterpiece boasts the acting talents of Luella Holland, Khalil Kathrada and Rameez Nordien and will be playing at Vicky's Theatre for the duration of the festival.

Ticket prices range from R45–R59 with discounts for students and block bookings.

The show, an hour long, runs from 27 June to 6 July.
