Drop dead mysteries from Highly Suspect

Highly Suspect return to Edinburgh Fringe after sell-out runs the last two years to present not one, but two, interactive murder mysteries daily which their audience must solve.

There are fiendish plots, evidence to examine, and cryptic clues to crack, but can audiences catch the killer?

In Murder at the Movies, it’s the height of Hollywood’s Golden Age and movie mogul Tom Corny is dead—decapitated inside an impenetrable room. And now the lead actor has been shot dead in his locked trailer.

Murder on the Disorient Express is to be solved by renowned Belgian detective Hercules Pinot. But when the detective is found shot, stabbed, strangled and drowned inside his locked compartment, can all of the passengers really be responsible?

Cumbria-based Highly Suspect has toured across the UK, including landmark locations such as the film set for Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express, The National Centre for the Written Word and Blackpool Winter Gardens.

Both shows are at theSpace@Surgeons Hall, Theatre 1 (Venue 53) August 5–27 (not 13) and each run for an hour.

Suitable for ages 8+
