Murder Weekend 

A Comedy Written By Bettine Manktelow

A comedy thriller, ideal family entertainment

Each receives an anonymous "Murder Mystery" game envelope. Someone has left extra notes for Patsy and Stan exposing Livia's and Ashley's illicit affair. Next, Shelley, the chambermaid, mysteriously disappears, and intrigue and suspicion deepens when one last uninvited guest arrives ...

Review by Gwen and Steve from Sheffield

I just thought as you were kind enough to respond to my email, I'd let you know how much I and hubby enjoyed last night's performance. We weren't expecting 'in the round' (not knowing the venue, of course) but that made it all the more interesting. The front of house folk were helpful and we were able to eat at Lucy4 before hand! I wonder if they would do a 'pre-theatre' dinner?- but I suppose neither you nor they have a shortage of bookings! We'd certainly not hesitate to book when on holiday again and will recommend you to other Lake District visiting friends.  

Many thanks and Happy Easter. 

Good luck with the next 2 nights.
