In the picturesque village of Seux, near Amiens on the river Somme, stands ‘Le Petit Coque’ a cafe bar run by Francois Derriere with his wife Claudette and waitress Amelie.
Despite the German occupation of 1940, his life has remained largely unchanged, except that his customers now include the various ranks of German soldiers stationed there.
However the murder of a strange man in the kitchens of ‘Le Petit Coque’ spells trouble for everyone as Francois tries to juggle the relationships he has with his wife, his mistress, the Gestapo, a missing painting, two British Airmen and La Resistance at the same time!
(This is an Allo Allo themed plot.)

How do dinner theatre scripts work?
If you’re looking for a murder mystery evening which supplies entertaining sleuthing while you dine, then our Dinner Theatre style murder mystery evenings are just what you are looking for.
Each mystery is designed to be run in one room within a hotel/restaurant setting during a three course meal.
There are five suspects (the cast). One murder occurs before the event (the discovery of the body usually begins the evening) and one murder occurs mid-way through the evening. The dead body usually comes back as the inspector for the denouement. You can have a separate actor play this role if you prefer.
A stage manager is also useful for this type of script.
These mysteries are written as interactive dinner theatre with a series of scripts as well as interactive questioning by the guests. The emphasis is fun and melodrama and the plays require an experienced set of actors to learn back story. This style of script is NOT for novice actors due to the amount of line learning, and requirement to be confident ad-libbing.
A good team of actors will usually need between 4-6 rehearsals, OR to learn the scripts and back story in advance and an intensive afternoon of rehearsals on the day before the show.
The plots require props and often theatre blood. These props are often not too difficult to obtain. It’s usually things like knives, glasses, guns (fake obviously!), and small stage props e.g. handbags. Sound effects are also often minimal. Though some plots do benefit from having access to a starter pistol.
Introducing the suspects
Francois Derriere – The owner of ‘Le Petit Coque’.
An affable cafe proprietor Francois enjoys mingling with the guests, his work, and an ongoing affair with Amelie.
Claudette Derriere – The wife of Francois.
Hard working and dependable but not very easy going, Claudette is always polite to her guests whether she likes them or not!
Amelie Boudoir – The waitress at ‘Le Petit Coque’.
A hard-working feisty girl, Amelie is buxom and flirtatiously dressed in a bid to attract more tips from the men at her tables.
Heinrich Von Pinscher – Wermacht Obersturmbannfuehrer (Lt. Colonel.)
A Lt. Colonel in the German army put in charge of Amiens, Von Pinscher is happy so long as he can drink and eat well in the local cafes and bars.
Gunter Schnell – Gestapo Kommisar
Head of the local Gestapo, Schnell does not trust anybody and will stop at nothing to climb the career ladder in the Nazi hierarchy.

Customise this game
This game can be customised to fit your event for an additional fee.
It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE.
Please do contact us for a free quote if you would like any customisations on your game before purchase.
Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not have someone play the inspector role?
The inspector can usually be male or female as the “for real” inspector can simply invent a new name for themselves.
Some hosts prefer to play the inspector role as it means they can work on the catering while the round plays out amongst their guests.
