C. J. MURDER MYSTERIES
Murder Mystery supper evenings are becoming extremely popular, and are a very good way to raise funds as audiences love them and they are also good fun to perform. All are designed around bar & supper breaks and involve the audience many ways, the most important of which is guessing “who-dunnit”, possibly winning a prize!
The stage plays are more suitable for a drama group as they are fully scripted and require good ensemble playing for full effect.
If you have a shortage of men the inspector/PC can usually (not in every play) be played by women, or could even be played by the "victim"! And the PC is usually non-speaking.
FULLY-SCRIPTED STAGE PLAYS
Scripts cost £12 ( + p&p) to read (you will be sent one copy with permission to copy up to six more; and £35 for a licence for each performance.
