Murder at The Harrison

Cereal Box Productions are bringing Murder at The Harrison to The Harrison Hotel on Thursday 29 October, a promenade-style detective performance set in the 1920s. It's a whodunnit that takes place across the hotel's rooms and chambers, so you'll be on your feet moving from one scene to the next rather than sitting in a single seat. The show is part-scripted and part-improvised, and everyone is encouraged to dress up in period clothes and put their 'little grey cells' to work to figure out who did it.

The venue itself is a good fit for the theme. The Harrison Hotel is a historic Victorian building on Malone Road, and its rooms have hosted concerts, talks, exhibitions and immersive experiences for years. This production drops the hotel back into its glamorous 1920s, and the promenade format means you'll be led through a series of opulent settings rather than watching from the sidelines. There are two intervals built in, which leave plenty of time to head to the bar.

On the practical side, the performance starts at 20:00 and runs until about 22:00, with bar snacks and drinks available at the venue. Tickets are £28. Some listings also mention the 29th to 31st of October, so it's worth checking for other dates if Thursday doesn't suit.
