2024, return to Tower City...
Winner of the 2024 Darwin Fringe Festival Theatre Award!
When a Human Resources department goes missing, the very serious detective Melpo and his seriously useless deputy Thalia are called in to save the day. They're the only ones who can solve the case. Or at least, they're the only ones rostered on today.
This time, the hilarious murder-mystery involves a stressed-out staff, a sex-pest boss, an all-seeing and all-knowing lie-detector test (or is it just an app on Thalia's phone?) and of course, a HR worker that may or may not be dead. If she even exists.
Cast: 6
Roles: 3 male, 2 female, 1 variable

This play is a pseudo-sequel to the award-winning play "Under the Table" - but you don't have to watch both in order!
We are so excited to share that Big Dog Salad were recipients of the Adelaide Fringe Fund for 2025!!
Huge thank you to Adelaide Fringe and Arts South Australia for the support. It was such a thrill to bring our very silly murder-mystery to Goodwood Theatre & Studios!

…there’s plenty of originality in the main plotline, and though its execution feels familiar, the twists are just enough to be surprising.
There is indeed a place for more of this larrikin lunacy and one hopes that this company will come down South more often.
Thanks to Beth (aka Cordial Draws) for the art!
This play was proudly produced with the support of the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
