THE STRANGE CASE OF THE MIDNIGHT PHANTOM

Paul Spence and Annie Robinson back with dinner thriller for Hexagon in Pietermaritzburg.

For our first show of 2010 the Hex is delighted to host the latest in The Strange Case series of Murder Mysteries, which have proved so popular over the last four years. Audiences are invited to put their sleuthing prowess to the test as they try to unravel this mysterious whodunit.

It is September, 1939. Storm clouds have gathered over Europe. In a private school in the Natal Midlands, trouble is brewing of a different kind. A housemaster’s wife has met with an unfortunate accident… The much-loved school librarian has been ‘put out to grass’… The widowed headmaster has taken a vivacious new wife… And a ghostly phantom glides across the school grounds in the dead of night… Could it be the wraith of the headmaster’s first wife?

Paul Spence and Annie Robinson are delighted to return to The Hex with their latest ‘dinner thriller’ and invite audiences to join Michael Buchan, the unlikely detective, on his quest to unravel the mystery behind a singularly enigmatic murder; the challenge is on to work out whodunit; and why!
