Whodunnit?

Anonymous Anonymous

Multi-millionaire Dr Shady has been murdered. A collection of unusual suspects are gathered and Inspector Hugh Dunnett needs your help to work out whodunit. Perhaps the victim fell prey to the charms of Miss Harlot. Maybe Colonel Moustache had a score to settle. Or perhaps Vicar Vert is not as green as everyone thinks...

Can the audience discover the real culprit and bring an end to the killing? Will the murderer get his just desserts? Can he at least see the dessert menu? Will anyone stick to script? In this mystery only one thing's for certain - revenge is a dish best served full of poison.

Who shot Mr Darcy?

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a bullet wound, must be in want of justice... With Mr Darcy in a coma and unable to name his assailant, Lizzie Bennett needs your help to discover the culprit. Who would do a thing like this? Who shot Mr Darcy?

Featuring Jane Austen's hugely popular characters, Pride with Extreme Prejudice retells the classic story with an exciting new twist.

Seven Deadly Sins

It is the roaring twenties. 1927 to be precise. It is a time of economic boom; a sepia-toned time of silent movie stars, jazz and flapper girls. Ethyl Barrymore was on screen, Louis Armstrong was on trumpet and Agatha Christie was on every bookshelf.

You have been invited to the event of 1927. The sixtieth birthday of Lord Maurice Rice-Glutton. Only the top flight of society have been lucky enough to receive an invite, so dress to impress, get a bob cut and make sure you brush up on your Charleston for a murderously good time.
