Sudden Death at Thornbury Manor

by Chris Lewis & Carol Hutton

In the run-up to Christmas 2013 we performed for the Bridge of Allan Operatic Society in Dunblane's Victoria Hall. This was a tongue in cheek murder mystery called "Sudden Death at Thornbury Manor".
This murder mystery event was in the style of an old-fashioned Radio Play, with a sit-down dinner to accompany the entertainment. Some of our audience really got into the spirit of things, dressing up for the occasion in 1950s costume. Everybody seemed to enjoy the evening and we had some great reviews.
