Far Guy felt good enough to attend….we had purchased the tickets a long time ago.
Many people that attended wore 1930’s style clothing…we didn’t get that memo but probably wouldn’t have dressed up anyway…but some people were all decked out!
Other than the three main actors they picked people out of the audience to play the parts of suspects, they also gave them folders with scripts. Far Guy played Mr Greenspan…a wealthy banker. At one point someone came and got him to give him special instructions….he whispered to me “Don’t get excited with my antics.”
We were given bribe money and suggested questions to ask suspects with name tags throughout the room. We also had pencil and paper to record motive and opportunity and crime scene photos.
Four course dinner…some kind of fancy salad with a very vinegary dressing, Cream of Tomato Bisque Soup (it was a little chunky for me) I ate the mostly liquid part and then got up to ask a suspect a question and when I came back my soup had been finished…I blamed Far Guy but he said nope he didn’t touch my soup. The Third Course was a pasta dish with some kind of cream sauce…you could have steak, shrimp or philly cheese to accompany it. Far Guy said he got three shrimp…I had steak and had to hunt for it. Dessert was various cakes…I had chocolate with a cherry sauce…it was really good.
There was much comic relief as the plot unfolded. Far Guy as Mr Greenspan was poisoned at one point…he slumped backwards in the chair…the Doctor came over and touched his nose and pronounced him cold and dead. They carted him off wearing his glasses and hat and he returned the same old Far Guy.
We as a group…two other friends went with us…deduced that the murderer was a woman…lipstick and a wine glass at the crime scene…so we guessed the most likely suspect would be the Doctor…which was wrong. But it was fun anyways…Far Guy got an award for “The Best Death Scene”
It was a fun evening.
OH gosh! Thar really does sound like a lot of fun! Doesn't sound like the food was much, though. But the good time made up for it, I guess. Congrats to FarGuy! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun evening, even if the food wasn't so great. Congratulations to Far Guy, and glad he was feeling well enough to attend.
ReplyDeleteSomething neat to see and do! I think here they used to produce a play in our salt mine. I did not go but have been down in the mine once. Glad Far Guy warned you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time to me. I would have loved to see Far Guy's death scene.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like fun! I'm glad to hear that FG really knows how to act dead. That's close enough, now he can act super healthy! :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Glad Far Guy was well enough to go and participate.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Glad Far Guy felt good enough to attend as well as take on an acting role.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun evening! Good job, Far Guy!
ReplyDeleteWe attended a murder mystery dinner a few years ago with some friends. It was fun - and like yours, the food wasn't the highlight. It was typical "banquet" food. But lots of fun with the interactive play.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to attend such a feast...lucky you!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. It was very brave of Far Guy to take a part and he must have done an outstanding job.
ReplyDeleteThis would be fun particularly when Far Guy got with the program and put on a good act.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun evening! I've always wanted to go to a dinner theater. Congratulations to Far Guy!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting a night like that would interest me but not Tim who would become confused and think it boring.
ReplyDeleteHi my friend, so happy to be back! Oh that sounds like a great fun evening, I would have loved that night....hugs Francine❤️
ReplyDeleteI do like murder mystery dinners. Sounds like Far Guy really got into the spirit of it.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that would be fun.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun evening. I think it's hilarious that someone finished your soup while you were away from the table!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to one of those mystery dinners but they always sound like so much fun. Yours sounded fabulous.... complete with Oscar-winning performance by Far Guy. *haha* Lovingly~ Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time, even if the food was mediocre. The cake saved it.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I've heard of those and since I love a good mystery that would be enjoyable especially since you went with some friends.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun time!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
