Everyone really enjoyed it and as a result I have given your details out to more than one of the invitees. A memorable evening, and made very much so by you and your team Very best wishes David 06/29/2008 02:12 PM Creating a new Murder Mystery Production The Company Upfront, Murder Mysteries to Die For produce a minimum of two new productions a year. From conception to production each taking around six months to create. Not only do we have to write the script for the events leading up to and including the dastardly deed, we also have to write the conclusion, all of the character backgrounds, movements and time lines etc. Once the characters have been created we can then get into the rehearsal stage of the new production. We have nearly thirty actors on our books and normally we begin with just a few who will learn the new parts then once we're up and running other actors will take over as required. All we then have to do is to build the sets, collect and bag all of the visual clues, make the costumes, layout and print the answer forms, character lists and floor plans etc, etc, etc. A dress rehearsal in front of a seasoned and experienced invited audience irons out any obvious mistakes and then the production is ready for you to invite us along to your venue and for you to have a go at using those little grey cells. 06/29/2008 02:10 PM It's Murder at Christmas!! The first words of our newest Christmas Murder Mystery production for 2008 were put to paper at the beginning of this week (June 08). Hidden deep in the cellars of a building located somewhere in the English countryside there is a buried metal box which is locked shut and contains the secret of Christmas past, present and future. It is said that if any mortal manages to learn the secret they will receive powers beyond anyone's wildest dream. The box is guarded by an array of characters, the leader being a large and portly gentleman with rounded belly and long white beard and we're sure you'll recognise the other festive protectors of the secret. The time is just before midnight on Christmas Eve and events which lead up to a dastardly murder will unfold in this very special place. Will the secret of Christmas remain safe? Who will die, how and why? But most importantly will there be enough Mince Pies to go around?!!!!

What people say....

"I am writing to thank you for the excellent Murder Mystery that your company performed at our annual conference. All the delegates enjoyed it, including those who had said earlier in the evening that they would leave early to go nightclubbing! The hotel commented that yours was the most professional company they had ever dealt with, and they have had many similar events over the years."
Alison Lally - Department for Works and Pensions

"Everyone had a brilliant time and we have only had extremely complimentary comments about the evening - they were all still talking about it on Friday! Giving it the 'personal' flavour was a great idea and very well received!
It was incredible to see all the international delegates integrating so well and getting thoroughly involved in the plot (if not a little too much on some tables!)."
Andrew Baird - Corporate Development International

"Marvellous - I cannot think of a better way to describe the way Friday's event went. From conception, through planning and finally the production itself, you and The Company Upfront have been both friendly and professional.
All our guests had a great time which they will be talking about in the months ahead. The idea of 'meeting the cast' after the play worked wll and I would like you to pass on our thanks to each and everyone one of them."
John Thompson - Following a 40th birthday Murder Mystery (blogindex)
