Murder Mystery through the ages
Murder has been with us since the days of Cain and Abel (that one has been solved by the way), so whatever your historical interests, we can provide a scenario to suit, from the Stone Age to the Space age. Whether you want a traditional murder in a 1920s mansion, a Victorian melodrama or death amongst the leg warmers and puff ball skirts of the 80s, we will be right behind you.
1920s
Court in the Act - 15 performers + 3 performers
The death of the owner of an expensive and expansive estate in the 1920s brings relatives flocking back in the hope that they might inherit a piece of the wealth. As the weekend progresses, the body count rises, and the family lawyer is at a loss to decide who inherits. Will the will be discovered and make everything clear, or will death strike the rightful owner of the estate before the truth is known?
Bride and Treasured Ice - 17 performers inc MC
The Baron's son, the Honourable Joseph Carter, has presented his new wife with a fabulous diamond as a wedding ring, and suddenly all of the guests are vieing to get their hands on the rock. When it goes missing, which of the mysterious guests is responsible, and will the bumbling house owner be able to expose them before the Police get involved? This scenario was written for a wedding reception, but can be adapted to less formal occasions.
The Valentine's Day Mascara - 6 performers inc. MC

1950s

Based loosely on "Hairspray" this scenario is ideal for kids and teenage party nights
