The Great Gabbo
Step into the dazzling yet treacherous world of 1920s vaudeville with this gripping reimagining of the 1929 classic film, The Great Gabbo.
The Great Gabbo is the toast of the theatre circuit, his ventriloquist act with the irreverent dummy Otto drawing packed houses and thunderous applause. But behind the glitz and glamour, a sinister obsession is taking root. As Gabbo's sanity unravels, the line between ventriloquist and dummy blurs, leaving those closest to him to wonder: who's really pulling the strings?
Mary, Gabbo's former assistant and lost love, thought she'd left the madness behind when she fled Chicago two years ago. Now happily married to fellow performer Frank, she's building a new life in the bright lights of New York City. But the shadows of the past are about to come calling.
When Frank is found murdered backstage at the Shubert Theatre, Mary is thrust into a nightmarish mystery. As the body count rises and suspicion falls on Gabbo, Mary must confront her own demons and unravel a web of deceit, jealousy, and madness.
With the help of the gruff but determined Detective Morrison, Mary peels back the glittering facade of showbiz to reveal its dark underbelly. But the truth is more twisted than she could have imagined, and danger lurks in the most unexpected places.
From dimly lit dressing rooms to the wings of Broadway's grandest stages, The Great Gabbo weaves a tale of ambition, obsession, and the high price of fame. In a world where everyone wears a mask, can Mary unmask the killer before she becomes the final act?
Prepare for a thrilling journey into the heart of a bygone era, where the spotlight conceals deadly secrets and the final curtain could fall at any moment.
