The Murder Mystery will be back at Humphrey Perkins on Saturday 1st October 2022 at 7.30pm.
We had an interesting time during lockdown – you may have caught us doing a Zoom Murder Mystery in 2021 when we did First Class Death by Helen Sadler. This was very successful and we loved doing it. We never met up but performed as best we could. It was watched, incidentally, by friends and family around Europe and all over the UK. Just the reach of the show, to loved ones far off, made me want to do another one and we started one for spring 2022, but decided to save it up until we could perform in person, on stage.
We’re in different times this year and a ploughman’s supper will not be part of the evening. But who knows for another year? We’re taking things a day at a time as we adjust to the new normal. There will be nibbles at the table and a pop-up bar available.
But the cast is one you’ll recognise (mostly) and the challenge to solve a foul murder is the same – it’s all about getting your brain engaged. Come in Victorian clothing (or not) and – see you there!
Tickets are priced at £12 and we will shortly be able to confirm where you can buy them – watch out for the poster!
