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
James Blonde – MI6 agent with a license to kill.
Suave, sophisticated and good with the ladies, James Blonde is an excellent undercover agent and a master of deception.
Honey Funnymoney – M’s Secretary
Smart, efficient and intelligent, nothing gets past Honey Funnymoney, not even James Blondes charms!
Ernst Fuzzyfelt – No.1 at S.P.O.O.K.T.E.R
In a grey suit and with a penchant for Persian cats, this bald headed master-criminal is not a man to be trifled with.
Kitty With-Claws – S.P.O.O.K.T.E.R. agent
A pussy cat you wouldn’t want to mess with, this well dressed beauty is more than equipped to kill any would-be suitor.
Cuttlefishy – Circus Ringmaster and S.P.O.O.K.T.E.R. agent
With floating dresses and serene expression you could be mistaken into thinking Cuttlefishy was an easy catch – you’d be wrong.

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.
