A BACKGROUND TO Gumshoe SUPPER theatre

About Us

We are an independent theatre cooperative, made up of like minded individuals that have a passion for acting. The company was established in Kent in 2015 and to date we have given over 220 performances.

We have staged our murder mysteries in hotels, restaurants, theatres, village halls,  churches, schools, castles and even under a gazebo, we are adaptable and will perform just about anywhere!

All our play scripts are self penned and researched to portray the period of the murder mystery as accurately as possible . With a Gumshoe murder mystery, your guests are guaranteed a fun evening of top quality theatre,  entertainment, intrigue and where possible a sense of humour.






What Do We Offer?

If you're looking for great entertainment either for a corporate event, a charity fund raiser, private party or hospitality event, we can provide a stand-out murder mystery event to keep your guests intrigued, amused and involved.

Our thought provoking, original dramas are real ice-breakers. Performances are structured so your guests can enjoy a meal between acts: they are then given the opportunity to become detectives themselves by interrogating the suspects, to unravel and guess 'who dunnit'! Winning the certificate and prize as 'Sleuth of the Evening'.

Whether it be a private/public dining event or a corporate party we promise to deliver a show stopping evening filled with intrigue and suspicion. We can also tailor the evening to suit your needs.

Please contact us with the email form below and we will get back to you with details and pricing.

After 9 years we still maintain a 100% return booking, so we must be doing something pleasing.


Dress to Impress

Each mystery is  set in a particular era, so if guests wish to get involved by dressing  up in self devised costumes, we encourage them to do so (although it is not compulsory!) but it adds to the overall feel and fun of the evening.

Our Murder Mystery date settings are: 1815, 1913, 1928,1941, 1955 and 1965 .
