[[caption-width-right:350:'''Chief King:''' Ah, the Historical Center! Its little streets, its famous museums, its theater, its people... People here are a little... well, you'll see for yourself!]]
After being promoted to the Historical Center, the player is tasked with solving the murder of actor Jacob Dawks, crushed by a sandbag on a theater stage.
!!Tropes:
*AssholeVictim: Jacob both cheated on his girlfriend and tried to blackmail two of his coworkers with embarrassing pictures. As such, no one is saddened by his death.
*BadBadActing: According to everyone, Jacob was a terrible actor who had been ruining the theater company with his terrible plays. It's the reason why Phineas killed him, since Jacob wouldn't leave and he was about to leave everyone without a job.
*BigEater: This case shows what a big appetite Jones has thanks to the work of Margaret, eating her cookies, apple pie, and muffins throughout the case.
*{{Blackmail}}: Jacob had a picture of Nellie and Phineas together despite the latter being married, which he used to blackmail them for money.
*CausticCritic: Desmond Galloway, an antique shop owner who also writes reviews for plays in very harsh manner.
*CoolOldLady: Margaret Littlewood, who involves herself in the investigation to help you and gifts Jones some cookies. Ramirez even calls her a nice old lady.
*DeathFromAbove: Phineas killed Jacob by dropping a sandbag onto him.
*DressedToPlunder: Jones dresses like a pirate after you investigate a box of theater props.
*DrowningMySorrows: After you stop his play, Phineas is seen drinking wine from a bottle.
-->'''Phineas:''' What do you want? Can't you let a man drink himself to death?
*SharpDressedMan: Ramirez has a surprisingly nice suit he uses for formal events.
*ShoutOut:
**The case´s title is an obvious reference to ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''.
** Chapter 2's cover image features a portrait of Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
** After the killer's motivation's are revealed, [[Film/ThreeHundred Jones exclaims, "This is madness!" In response, the killer says, "This is theater!"]]
*TheShowMustGoOn: Phineas Fine, the stage director, intends to continue with the play even if his theater stage has been converted into a crime scene. It probably helps that he was the one who killed Jacob in the first place.
-->'''Phineas:''' My work is everything to me, Officers. I wouldn't gamble my career on such a mad scheme. But I have to make the most of the situation I am given. The show must go on!
*SpannerInTheWorks: Hadn't it been for Ramirez telling you he was planning to attend the play at the theater where the victim was killed, Phineas would've disposed of important evidence before you could find it.
*SuspiciouslySpecificDenial
-->'''Jones:''' Have you tried one of Miss Littlewood's cookies? They're delicious! I could eat them all day!
-->Which is something that I'm NOT gonna do because we're in the middle of an investigation, of course!
*TemptingFate: Once again, Jones finds out that he's prone to announcing disaster seconds before it's announced.
-->'''Jones:''' Finally! We really needed a change of scenery! We'll live the quiet life here, don't you think?
-->'''Ramirez:''' Sorry to interrupt, but something happened at the Grimsborough Theater! The main actor is dead!
-->'''Jones:''' So much for peace and quiet...
