MYSTERY maestros Highly Suspect are heading to Shap Memorial Hall for an immersive and interactive murder mystery, where the audience must solve the crime.

The Matinee Murder features an original murder plot, evidence to examine, cryptic clues to crack and four highly suspicious suspects to interrogate as the audience must work together to unmask the killer on Sunday, March 6, 2022 at 6.00pm.

In the show, which is part of the Highlights Rural Touring Scheme, the audience is invited to solve a seemingly impossible murder in a performance filled with fun, frolics and fatalities.

It’s curtains up on the latest production of the world’s longest-running play, Agatha Mystery’s celebrated whodunnit ‘The Rattrap’. But when the lead actress is found in her dressing room with her throat cut, it seems this is more than a case of simply corpsing on stage. But who among the cast is a killer.

First-class detectives and first-time crime solvers alike will enjoy this entertaining theatrical experience with its eccentric characters, jam-packed with puzzles and clues to solve from one of the UK’s leading professional murder mystery troupes.

Seating will be at tables.  The performance will include several short breaks to allow for collaborative puzzle solving. The audience are welcome to bring their own drinks and snacks to have during the breaks. 

The show is appropriate for anyone aged 12 and over and also suitable for those aged 8+  to attend with an adult.

Tickets are £10 for adults, Children 8 and above go for £5 and a family ticket is £24.
