With just two weeks to go until the Town Gardens Bowl marks its 90th anniversary, on 6th May, new details have been released about one of the standout events in the celebrations: Locomotive for Murder: The Improvised Whodunnit.
Audiences attending Pinch Punch’s performance on 3rd May can expect a completely unique experience: an entire murder mystery being created live on the night. Using audience suggestions to shape everything from the setting to the suspects and with only one performer knowing the true identity of the murderer during the show, the night is truly set to keep everyone on the edge of their seats (including the cast!).
Described as “a first class improvised murder mystery with hilarious performances” (★★★★★ The Reviews Hub), the show begins with four passengers boarding a train, setting the stage for an evening of suspicion, deception and comic chaos. With help from a world-famous detective, the success of the case will ultimately depend on the audience’s ability to piece together the clues.
The production forms a key part of the Bowl’s milestone anniversary programme, which will also include a free concert by the Mid-West Big Band on 4th May at 2pm, and much more still to be announced.
With demand building and limited time remaining, organisers are encouraging audiences to secure tickets soon to avoid missing out on what promises to be one of the most unusual events in the anniversary line-up.
The performance runs for approximately 90 minutes and is suitable for ages 10+.
As the countdown continues, one thing is certain: no one—not even the performers—knows exactly how the story will unfold on the night!
