There’s a theatrical flavour to our Limelight programme next month, with show debuts, a night of musical theatre, and a murder mystery…
MURDER AROUND THE CLOCK (FRI 1 – SAT 2 APRIL)
The latest murder mystery event, by Karen Banfield.
In 1958 Molly is proudly running her own milkshake bar, with the help of her daughters Bunty and Suzie, plus their next door neighbour. A talent scout spots Bunty’s singing potential and when a face from the past reappears, things couldn’t look better. So what turns one of them, to murder?
At the end of act one, guests will be able to work as a team at their table to submit their first guess as to who the murderer is. After act two, they get their final chance to say ‘whodunnit’ and why. The format of the event is for the audience to sit back and enjoy a full length play. No questions are directed at any cast members and they do not mix with the audience. The team with the most points wins a prize.

‘THROUGH THE YEARS’ (SAT 9 APRIL)
‘Through the Years’ is a showcase of songs from musicals from across the decades, performed by our in-house storytelling company Unbound.
Featuring a talented cast, this special event is a must-see for fans of musical theatre, and features songs from musicals including West Side Story, Hamilton, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, and a tribute to the legendary Stephen Sondheim.

‘A PLACE SET ASIDE FOR SLEEPING’ (FRI 22 – SAT 23 APRIL)
A new play by Shaun Nolan
“Most people are made on beds, born on beds, and die on beds… It’s funny when you think about it.”
When the terrifying state of a vacated hotel room ensnares the cleaning staff of The Green Iguana, they’re forced to face their darkest demons: who were they when they entered this room, and who will they become by the time they leave?

AND ON TOUR…
THE UNBOUND SKETCHBOOK (FRI 8 APRIL) PLAYERS THEATRE, THAME
‘MIND THE GAP‘
Alight here for hilarity – The Unbound Sketchbook is back on the road with a brand-new plethora of pages from its mighty book of sketches, one tour throughout 2022.
Witness what happens when you challenge Death to a game of chess, meet the world’s latest comedy double-act Pasties & Cake, and find out why you really should Mind the Gap on the London Underground…
Along the way there’ll be a trip to a Creation Focus Group, an unsettling look at what happens when the rules of fishing are applied to land animals, and a toe-tapping job interview with a Barbershop Quartet.
Blending witty wordplay with rib-tickling physical comedy and mirthful music, The Unbound Sketchbook is the perfect evening out for comedy fans.
