Book now! Two more December dates added
The ultimate dinner theatre and rail experience gets two more dates in December, as Great Journeys New Zealand invites guests to uncover a murderer in their midst aboard a scenic train journey.
“Guests are invited to the wedding of the decade - that decade being the 1930s,” says General Manager Great Journeys New Zealand and Commuter Tracey Goodall. “In this immersive, interactive experience traveling on the South Island train journey, we’re inviting passengers on board for a night of mystery and Hollywood romance.”
The glamorous guests at the wedding of aristocrat Lady Arabella Ashford and star of the silver screen Rex Cable, passengers will be called on to solve the mystery when murder interrupts the festivities.
“Led by professional facilitators from The Court Theatre, guests will watch the drama unfold, match wits with the suspects and si? through the clues while enjoying a seven-course degustation menu with paired beverages," says Ms Goodall.
“Most importantly, they’ll be tasked with finding the killer before they strike again.”
"We are thrilled," says Gretchen La Roche, Executive Director of The Court Theatre, "that two prominent, and much-loved Aotearoa organisations are joining forces to offer passengers on the Tormore Express a night to remember. Guests can expect a Court Theatre-quality production aboard the renowned Great Journey’s train. If you enjoyed Agatha Christie’s Murder on The Orient Express at The Court Theatre earlier this year, you won't want to miss this unique and exhilarating experience."
Guests can book with friends or use the experience as an opportunity to meet new ones, as the carriage tables will be set for four.
