Murder Mystery
The Lush, The Judge and the Pianist
Three actors would perform ‘The Lush, The Judge and The Pianist’ which is a
farcical Agatha Christie type plot from the 1930s or 1940s. It is very
entertaining with basic and obvious comedy with lots of ‘double entendre’. The
audience tends to get involved as little or as much as they wish as there is no
pressure put on anyone to become involved.

We have many more entertainment ideas & options to entice you - your budget is our only limitation!
At Myres we can arrange almost anything, even down to a kilt fitting!!
