What an unusual venue!!

Over the seventeen plus years that we have been performing Murder Mystery events we have work in some brilliant location in the UK and Europe, but last week was one of those to remember. The venue was called the Roost in NE London it is normally used as a film and photographic location, being used by the BBC, National Magazines and pop groups such as Oasis and Blur. It has all the mod cons for functions and they have their own caterers who come in and cook the food for clients in house.

We entertained 20 people from a London based communication company who were a brilliant audience.

The building was formed of four floors with about 16 rooms. Having undertaken our pre-murder mingle on the ground floor we performed the dastardly deed on the 1st floor, then following their main course the guests moved around the whole building to inspect the clues and cross-examine the suspects.

What made it unusual was that each wall of every room was decorated in a different style, or period in time and each wall had the furniture etc in front of it for the period/style of the wall.

It sounds hideous but it was really atmospheric and worked really well.

Here's to the next unusual venue!!!!

Christmas can be Murder!!!

A big step forward relating to the latest Christmas Murder Mystery Production, 'Christmas can be Murder!' The final words of the script were typed into the computer earlier today. All the characters are finalised and we start rehearsals in a few weeks time. Following a Dress Rehearsal we perform it in front of a paying audience for the first time on Tuesday 2nd December at one of our favourite venues, Oakwood House in Maidstone and we already have it booked for over 15 other dates so far in December .

Following our spring cleaning month it's going to be murder for the forseeable future!!

As per every year since 1990 we've just been through our quiet month, August is a perfect month to spring clean the set and equipment as well as having a well deserved holiday.

The credit crunch hasn't affected us at the moment and we have at least one team booked every weekend until the end of April 2009 and a couple of bookings for 2010 already. But we still have another team available to perform a dastardly Murder Mystery for you, your company or group.

Our Bluebell Railway productions for 2008 are now sold-out and we have booked seven productions in 2009:- 6th March, 24th April, 15th May, 18th September, 9th October, 13th November and 10th December (all still have availability). We can also supply gift vouchers for Christmas, Birthdays and Anniversaries etc.

We are also performing on the Nene Valley Railway (Nr Peterborough) later this Month.

Don't forget that A Company Upfront Murder Mystery is perfect for your Team Building, Corporate, Social or Fund Raising events.
