Ensemble Theatre presents the world premiere of Midnight Murder on the Christmas Cruise of Death, a riotous new murder-mystery comedy, from 27 November to 10 January.

Following the rip-roaring success of Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall, Ensemble Artistic Director Mark Kilmurry reunites with writer and performer Jamie Oxenbould for a fresh dose of murder and mayhem.

The Middling Cove Players gather to decide what’s to be their next extravaganza. Struggling for survival after many defections to a rival amateur dramatics group, they realise this show must be their most epic production yet. Company Director Shane knows the players are ready for a blockbuster, effects laden, Death on the Nile meets The Poseidon Adventure masterpiece: a murder mystery on a cruise ship that turns upside down. And with their reputation, what can possibly go wrong?

Expect more of the same – but with water.
