About the show
Murder at The Speakeasy is a brand-new interactive murder mystery event by Not Cricket Productions, running for 120 minutes at The Speakeasy venue. Set in 1958, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is in its infancy and new Fringe venue The Speakeasy is celebrating its opening night. Guests meet and mingle with a demanding manager, long-suffering technician, disgruntled actors and a representative from the newly-created Fringe Society — then, when the killer strikes, follow the clues and interrogate the suspects to work out whodunnit. Nineteen-fifties dress is encouraged. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
An immersive murder mystery set at the birth of the Edinburgh Fringe, with a cast of characters drawn straight from the Fringe's own mythology. The nineteen-fifties setting and lively format make this an evening rather than just a show.
