We’ll dig into surly detectives, femmes/hommes/personnes fatale, hench-people and more, learning what makes them tick. Step into a world of drama, tension, sex and intrigue, where the struggle between good and evil is real and personal. Challenge yourself to fight and flirt, and possibly to try an accent or two!
