Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer.

“Murder Room” is a zany, farcical whodunit featuring newlyweds Edgar and Mavis. Two days after their wedding, Edgar discovers Mavis is worse than unfaithful. After her first attempt to kill him by poisoning his cocoa fails, Mavis resorts to shooting him and then returning to her lover. Chaos and complications reign when it transpires that the shots were blanks and Edgar’s body has vanished!

Fans of slapstick, mystery spoofs and witty dialogue will love this (the play, not Mavis!)
