Review: Evelyn Strange at the Vertigo Mystery Theatre

When you attend a performance by Vertigo Mystery Theatre you tend to come in with certain expectations. You expect that the script will take some twists and turns, you expect to not really know the full story of what is unfolding untill the end of the play.

This is what good mystery theatre is all about, part of the fun is trying to figure out how the puzzle of the plot is put together before things are fully revealed. And Vertigo always delivers.
