(Pic: Paul Spence and Annie Robinson) Highly successful dinner show to have a short run at the Hexagon Dive in Pietermaritzburg.
The Hexagon Dive has decided to do a Christmas in July Murder Mystery - Dinner Theatre as a fundraiser for Project Gateway.
It is Christmas Eve, 1909. “Journey with us to the turn of the century,” says the publicity material, “where Edwardian Johannesburg’s high society and gold barons lurk behind sordid secrets and tales of intrigue. Join Michael Buchan, the unexpected guest in his quest for the ultimate truth as he uncovers the mysteries of the Randlord’s mansion house and its guests. Meet Lady Eva Hochenheim, Fleetwood Rawthorne, Grey Beaufort, Mr and Mrs Olivier and the Randlord himself, Henry Beaufort and his wife Julia.
“Become enthralled from the very edge of your seat as we unravel The Strange Case of Hester Cilliers. Witness a Murder Most Foul that will take the prowess of an unlikely detective, a celebrated psychic and a dead woman to solve. Take part in the story as you dine with the Randlord’s guests, eat deliciously prepared cuisine and appreciate fine wine – all served at his very table.”
Performed by Annie Robinson and Paul Spence, The Strange Case of Hester Cilliers has had sold-out houses wherever it has performed over the last couple of years - from the Hilton Festival to the National Arts Festival, to numerous corporate events.
The Strange Case of Hester Cilliers runs in the Hexagon Dive at the Hexagon Theatre on the University of UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus from July 22 to 24 at 19h00 for 19h30. Tickets R150pp (three-course meal included) and the proceeds are in aid of Project Gateway. Tables seat 10 or part thereof and there is a cash bar. Early booking essential on 033-845 0400 as seating is limited.
