Mr John Winner has been found dead in his house in Morningside on the first anniversary of his huge lottery win. Was it murder? He was an extremely wealthy man.

I really enjoyed my first ever murder mystery. The inspector played by Paul Murray is the glue of the show. Great interaction with the cast and audience keeping it all moving along so smoothly. All the cast play their characters so well. Particularly enjoyed the Tory Peer. It is very well written and I would definitely recommend it.

So much fun, audience participation but only if you want to question the suspects. Who doesn't like a live game of cludo? Although this time the characters are morally bankrupt and very amusing! It's a well crafted script in the hands of skilled actors that makes us laugh out loud in recognition. The more the audience interacts the funnier it gets, some great banter all cleverly managed by the detective in charge. It's a 4 **** show..try to catch it before the Fringe ends.

Wonderful. A thoroughly pleasant experience for a first time viewer. Characters were engrossing. Comedic moments littered throughout. Kept me guessing until the reveal. Audience participation was in full flow. Well worth your money and attention. Several people were rattling their jewellery in appreciation. Go see it. The wife and the detective were brilliant, hilarious!

This is an intellectually and philosophically profound, and emotionally devastating, exploration of the darker -
Naw it isnae!
This is brilliant, daft fun that playfully invites you to exercise your little grey cells in solving a mysterious death.
Or just sit back and enjoy the interaction between the audience and the gamey selection of suspects.
Do not consume within 24 hours of taking a Serious Pill.
Catch it while you can.

An intriguing, inventive, amusing and fun hour that keeps the audience guessing right until the end. Cast deliver terrific performances that entertain and engage in equal measure. Audience participation, always voluntary and never compelled, adds to the spectacle. Highly recommended show!
