The Gallery of Chinese arts Centre will be transformed into a theatre to present Whodunnit?, avideo piece by London based Singaporean artist Ming Wong. Whodunnit? is a dark & delicious cocktail of murder, mayhem, amatuer dramatics & cultural identity. An English police inspector and a 'colourful' cast of the usual suspects find themselves trapped in a classic Agatha Christie-style drawing room detective drama. But things are not quite as they initially see, with actors of African, Asian, Esat Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Eastern-European, Irish & Jewish descent shaking up pre-conceived stereotypes. The production of Whodunnit? has been made possible by the support of London Artists' Film and Video Award, Film London.
