Murder Mystery - A Dinner To Die For -
Not molecular gastronomy, but a wickedly funny Murder Mystery Dinner.
Set in 1928, Lord Quinten Daventry hosts his birthday or Christmas bash. Rumour in social circles is that he will announce his engagement to Miss Fanny.
Agatha Christie in spirit - all cut glass accents, pearls, flapper dresses, army outfits and monocles - with lashings of sexual innuendo and double entendres.
The core cast of six, include the delightfully flighty Miss Fanny, besotted and oblivious to the designs on her fortune. Uncle Bernie, former army colonel, a blustering, big-bellied chauvinist. Gertrude Glossop, much put-upon maid and the piece de resistance has to be Nanny Maude, Quinten's childhood Nanny. Scottish down to her brown boots, this is one of the best drag acts since Mrs Doubtfire.
Dinner guests are allocated a role and encouraged to indulge their inner artiste by dressing and behaving in character. Mingling over a three-course dinner, subplots emerge and the evening begins to gather pace and spices up into a hilarious romp peppered with murder, mayhem, disembodied limbs and suitably hysterical screams. Interactive entertainment at its best!
A Dinner to Die For can be performed, generally around a 3 course dinner (not supplied by us) for small or large groups (12 - 70 people) at private or corporate functions. We have an excellent venue partner, The Retreat Hotel a beautiful period room in Abbotsford that can accommodate upto 35 guests or we can work with you to find a venue to suit your needs and group size.
A Dinner to Die For gives audience members the unique opportunity to be in the show whilst watching the show all at the same time.
