Murder at Wizard School takes place on 28 March, which can be enjoyed virtually by families, school friends and all aspiring wizards. Murder at Eastwood Manor is scheduled for 16 April, which locals may recognise as it bears a striking resemblance to Eastwood House. The unique events offer the chance of a digital get-together for families, friends, team building, staff parties and special occasions as teams can work virtually to solve clues together.
Participants will watch events unfold in a professionally performed play before flexing their detective skills as they interrogate each suspect in turn in digital breakout rooms to get to the bottom of the crime. The murder mystery events feature actors Karen Bartke, Kenny Boyle, Gillian Massey and John Love.
Moira McFadden, Head of Community and Arts at East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, said: “We're inviting all aspiring wizards and detectives to join us for a great evening of virtual entertainment, full of fun and mystery.
“You can team up with other audience members to interrogate the suspects, piece together the clues and make accusations, making it the perfect group activity to play from home, or you can come along solo and join in with the group fun.
“Eastwood Park Theatre is delighted to be able to bring quality entertainment from your home. This was made possible through a successful funding application to Creative Scotland to continue to support performers and entertain our audiences until we are able to return to the auditorium.”
