About Etc Theatre Company

We have a Murder scenario to entertain you and your guests but the minimum delivery time is usually 2.5 hours.
We cover an area within 50 miles of Milton Keynes. Our mysteries offer at least four actors - often six - and it takes over 2 hours to do the session justice - mingling with guests, a murder is revealed, clues are gathered and suspects quizzed. Generally this is linked to a lunch or dinner and ideally is served but we can work around a buffet option. Just note that this can adjust running times.
We write the story to suit you and weave the plot around your catering options.
A typical evening structure is 7pm welcome; 7.30pm plot unfolds and starters are served; a murder is announced and investigations start and the main course is served; 8.30pm more evidence and interrogations; 9.30pm decisions are made and by 10pm a murderer is revealed and prizes issued.
Lunch similarly 12.30 to 3.30pm
Can be coupled with team building.
We don't offer solo hosts for small parties needing a single co-ordinator - these are fully performed murder scenarios.

Typical Clients

We have undertaken Murder Nights for charities as fundraisers, University groups for team working and private individuals just for fun. We have dove-tailed our activities with a company's away day for staff - something for everyone but a good mystery should not be rushed.

Wonderful, fun event

We booked the murder mystery event for our wedding reception and we are so pleased we did. From start to finish everything was done in a professional manner. Communication was good, any queries via email were responded to very quickly. We were kept well informed through out. The actors were very punctual and they were all fab and very convincing. We had children present and this was taken into account. Most of the guests had no idea we had planned this and the look on their faces was a picture. It was a great event and we would not hesitate to use this company again. We could not fault anything from start to finish and give this company a definite 5 star review!

It was our great pleasure to devise and then present a bespoke mystery plot for the happy couple. We thank Caroline P and her husband for selecting us from a highly competitive field and for the lovely review.

Excellent - great entertainment

We gave Shirley and the team a rather unusual brief, to which they responded with aplomb. The result was a great evening of entertainment. We did have very specific requirements - it was a surprise murder mystery event, and needed to run within 2 hours alongside a dinner. They came up with a bespoke script, accompanied by challenges and puzzles for guests to solve. ETc delivered us an evening of fun and intrigue, which did exactly what it was intended to do. Thank you!
