An interactive Murder Mystery Event performed in the style of an old-fashioned Radio Play
By Chris Lewis and Carol Hutton
Licenced by Lazy Bee Scripts
Directed by Peter Hurren and James Reid
The action takes place in 1954 in and around Thornbury Manor – home of the Maltravers family but it is a drama presented as a radio play, performed live – with the performers working like radio actors in front of microphones and members of the company creating live sound effects. Following the “murder” the performers will mingle with the audience and answer their questions, and each cast member will have to answer 'honestly' ... apart from the murderer. The audience has an opportunity to win prizes for guessing the murderer, answering questions sheets and selecting the best team name. There will also be a prize for the best dressed sleuths, so get some friends together and book a table, come dressed as your favourite detectives and prepare to enjoy solving a murder as you enjoy a light meal.
