About


These unique, entertaining and hilarious performances can work in any location and for any number of guests.  Usually unfolding over dinner; your guests would be the key witnesses to a brutal murder and must attempt to discover the guilty party. Using top West End actors and a brilliant script - they offer an entire evening’s entertainment that is perfectly suited to any event. Most importantly however – it’s really really funny.

Forget Murder Mysteries as you think you know them – with clumsy plots, badly drawn characters, dreadful costumes and tired old performances.  Murder Mystery Theatre don’t turn up and make you play all the parts and they never improvise around a boring story. They leave all the amateur dramatics to others and offer a fresh dynamic revamp of this classic genre using some of London’s most talented actors. As such – they promise to deliver an entertaining drama that you would quite happily pay to see on a West End stage.

The best way to describe what they do is to think of it as a really good piece of interactive theatre. The entertainment begins during pre-dinner drinks, as the colourful characters welcome guests; allowing them to get acquainted with everyone involved. Foul murder takes place during a pre-dinner speech and one of the characters comes forward to host proceedings and lead the investigation. Guests are separated into teams to work together and hilarious short scenes are enacted over dinner as suspects are interviewed. Throughout the evening guests will have the chance to interview and interact with each of the suspects individually to help them form their conclusions. To help teams in their investigation they will be presented with a silver briefcase containing everything they need to run their investigation which includes beautifully presented information on each of the suspects.

Once all the suspects have been interrogated, your guests can offer their solutions. They must name the killer and explain his or her motive. Once all these theories have been presented we approach the moment of truth as the investigator reveals the real killer and the motive. Expect a dramatic confession and likely an attempt to flee the scene before the murderer is apprehended. Order is restored, a winning team is announced and prizes are awarded.

Murder Mystery Theatre use a minimum of four actors for a performance although they do recommend using their full cast of six. A performance would typically take place over dinner and last for approximately three hours although this can of course be shorter or longer as appropriate. Whilst they do cover the whole of the UK; they are London based and there may be a travel charge depending on the location of your venue. If your event has less than 100 guests then they can usually perform without amplification. For a larger event they can bring along sound engineers to ensure that the performance can fill any room.

This act was the perfect entertainment alongside our conference dinner. The actors kept the audience captivated throughout and were able to adlib hilariously to any heckles from the 'detectives'. The plot was great and developed throughout the night with added twists and turns, making the teams really have to work together and communicate to decide the murderer, with decisions changing throughout the meal. The act works beautifully around dinner timings, they introduced their characters to groups of guests at our pre-dinner drinks, and grandly moved the guests through to the dinner hall where they continued to set the scene, until the murder happened. Interrogations happened between each dinner course which worked beautifully with our dining arrangements, making it a seamless night from the venue, to the dinner, through to the entertainment.
