WELCOME TO MURDERNIGHT!
Welcome to Murdernight! For the uninitiated, Murdernights are interactive murder mystery evenings, designed to be performed by small groups before an audience of between 40 and 150 people.  In the ten years since this humble website was launched our scripts have been performed the length and breadth of the UK as well as in Australia, the USA and Sweden.

If you can provide the venue and the cast, we can provide you with the script you need, together with detailed character sheets for your actors, menu and ticket suggestions, handouts and answer sheets. Everything you need for a profitable, fun evening's entertainment! More...

Our scripts are available on paper or CD-ROM, or - if you prefer a cheaper alternative - each of our scripts is now available as a download from this site! To see what scripts we have to offer, simply click on the script of your choice from the list on the right, peruse our on-line catalogue on the left, or download a perusal copy by clicking here!

All of our Murdernights are now also available to peruse on our new Sampler Disk 2 - for full details click here.

Still not sure what we're talking about? Then click the START HERE tab in the menu on the left…alternatively, click here!

New Endings for Return to Talbot Manor
Gary Simpson's Return to Talbot Manor (see right) now has two alternative endings in addition to the original. Alternative endings are a feature of many of our Murdernights, so that a group can stage a murder mystery for more than one night. Although a sequel, Return to Talbot Manor works perfectly well for an audience who have never seen the original - The Mystery of Talbot Manor - which also exists with three separate endings! The Talbot Manor series continues to be one of our most popular, with performances throughout Britain, the USA and Australia. The original has even been performed in Sweden (in Swedish!)

Publicise your Murdernight
If you have purchased one of our Murdernight scripts at any time, feel free to advertise your next production on our website, by linking your website to ours.

Performing for Other Groups
Are you part of an amateur group who performs Murdernights as fund-raisers for your local community? We are aware that many groups around the country do so and we would be interested to hear from you. We are frequently approached to ask if we can perform at venues up and down the country, which isn't really what we do (see our Frequently Asked Questions page) but are keen to construct a list of societies who are happy to be approached by groups seeking to raise funds, and enlist a drama group to perform a Murdernight for them.  If this is you, why not e-mail us or leave a comment in our Murdernight forum?
