From the team behind the hit MIDNIGHT MURDER AT HAMLINGTONHALL, MIDNIGHT MURDER ON THE CHRISTMAS CRUISE OF DEATH promises more of the same — but with water.
WORLD PREMIERE
After the rip-roaring success of MIDNIGHT MURDER AT HAMLINGTON HALL, the Middling Cove Players gather to decide what’s to be their next extravaganza.
Struggling for survival after many defections to a rival amateur dramatics group, they realise this show must be their most epic production yet. Company Director Shane knows the players are ready for a blockbuster, effects laden, Death on the Nile meets The Poseidon Adventure masterpiece: a murder mystery on a cruise ship that turns upside down. And with their reputation, what can possibly go wrong?
From the team behind the hit MIDNIGHT MURDER AT HAMLINGTON HALL, MIDNIGHT MURDER ON THE CHRISTMAS CRUISE OF DEATH promises more of the same — but with water.
