Defective Inspector: An American Odyssey

The poster for Defective Inspector: An American Odyssey

The poster is inspired by classic pulp Detective novel covers, with a couple of subtle gags scattered about it to give the viewer an insight into the slightly surreal, chaotic and meta humour of the show (especially with the poster literally setting itself on fire). The protagonist, Richard, holds the pose of the Statue of Liberty to hammer home his voyage to the USA, despite the play never specifying where in America he is visiting. The rest of the cast show off a few of the (dozens of) characters they'll be playing throughout this laugh-a-minute romp!
