About

It was the Summer of 1997. At a quiet Library in the heart of Exeter nothing much ever happened. That was, until a body was discovered in the reference section

Tonight, Detective Chief Inspector Charles Appleby has gathered some very special guests. Some are suspects. Others will help him catch the killer

Join us at Exeter Central Library for an interactive murder mystery presented by Moonstone Theatre Co. Over the course of the evening, youll travel around the Library, meet the suspects, and (hopefully) reveal the truth. All the clues are there to catch our killer, but will they be correctly deduced?

The performance begins at 7.30pm, and will end at 9.30pm. Doors are at 7, and there will be a chance to get drinks from our pop-up bar at the start of the show.

This is a period piece, set in the late nineties! So feel free to dress in your best 90s getup

16+ Only
Tickets are 10 per person

PRAISE FOR MOONSTONE:
"It was honestly the best murder mystery we have ever been to, both in terms of the plot, the acting and the overall experience"
- Chuffed audience member

Please note that the audience will be split into 4 groups that circulate between different rooms. Every effort will be made to keep you with whoever you arrived with (if desired)

This is a promenade style interactive performance, which means that there will be some moving between spaces in the Library and some standing. The Library has wheelchair access throughout, with a lift to all floors, and we are very happy to accommodate those with reduced mobility, or who may struggle to stand for long. For any questions related to access, please don't hesitate to ask
