A MURDEROUS SPELL
*Open to all – Members and our wider local community*
What: Whodunnit
When: Saturday 26th October 2024, 7:30pm (doors open 7:00pm)
Where: The Talisman Theatre
Welcome to the Talisman School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. It has been a difficult term so far, the Head Prefect has dishonoured the school, the Headmaster appears to be losing the plot and the local school inspector is breathing down everyone’s necks. When one of the teachers turns up dead, things couldn’t possibly get any worse. Can you figure out whodunnit and bring order back to the classrooms once again?
*Please note that this production will include elements that require the use of a smartphone to help you solve the murder, so please make sure that someone in your group has one on the night you can use.
For those who haven’t been to one of these events before, here’s some helpful information to note before you book:-
Interactive Event
As this event is fully interactive, not only will you witness some scenes played out on the stage by our suspects, but you’ll also be able to question them, examine documentary evidence and make notes before you submit who you believe the murderer to be.
This means that, at several points during the evening, you’ll be invited to move around the auditorium and the foyer to conduct your investigation.
If you’re coming along with friends or a family group, please get them together before you enter the auditorium and you’ll be shown to your seats by a member of our team once the doors are open. If you have any specific seating requirements please call the box office or let us know upon arrival and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
You/your team will be provided with pens and notebooks so no need to bring any with you.
Seats are not numbered for this event. If you are a wheelchair user please call the box office on 01926 856548 to book a wheelchair space. Please leave a message so we can call you back.
