Touring across the UK from the autumn, the new production – written by Rob Evans and directed once again by Jesse Jones – sashays into Theatre Royal Brighton from December 13 to 24.

Drag King Louis Cyfer starred in the original production when it opened in the West End in 2020 and 2021.

Death Drop Back In The Habit sees a gaggle of “fabulous” nuns trapped in their convent with a serial slayer slashing their way through the sisters.

The play's creators have promised that as the clues are unearthed by Sis Marple, audiences will be laughing in their pews as the “hilarious, fierce, all-drag killer comedy” comes to its “thrilling and uproarious conclusion”.

Cheryl Hole said: “I’m so beyond excited and honoured to be part of the new cast of Death Drop. After seeing so many of my talented friends in the different renditions of the show, I can’t wait to step into the shoes of my peers and show everyone that I’m far from mediocre.”

Louis Cyfer said: “It’s my absolute pleasure to rejoin the cast of Death Drop and once again be the Nasty Nick of the cast.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returned for its fourth season on BBC Three last week, with Sussex queens Dakota Schiffer and Pixie Polite among this year’s cast battling it out for the crown.
