18 October 2019 - Next of Kin, a murder mystery evening
Dear all,
It will be absolute murder to sit down for dinner in the Mission Hall on Saturday 16 November. This is because some of those taking part will be members of the Dorset Nomads Community Theatre and one of them – I don’t think that I am giving too much away – will be done away with by a person or persons unknown during the course of the courses. Set in 1967, the dinner is the launch party for a new Distillery, built on the site of the Springhead. It must have reverted to the Springhead pretty quickly after that, because I remember it well when we came down to Weymouth in 1971. But I digress. The Nomads, who serve the meal and interact with us diners, are presenting ‘Next of Kin’. Is the title a clue, I wonder? The start of this Murder Mystery Dinner is at 7 pm prompt, with scenes and courses following thereafter in rotation – starter, main course of chili and jacket potato, dessert. After the last scene at 8.45 pm you can ask questions of the cast and make your own mind up about who done it, before the dramatic denouement. Bet I guess before you do. Black and white - dinner suit and little black dress - are as acceptable as green flares, ruffled shirt and miniskirt (not necessarily all on one person). Just break out those boxes in the loft and have a good rummage. You know you kept your 60s gear for a reason. The cost is £15/head, and you should bring your own favorite tipple, perhaps Blue Nun or Mateus Rose.
