Tonight saw MBA back on stage for their first performance for 2025 with a corporate murder mystery evening performed for the staff of the Hooked Restaurant & Bar at their Tabernacle Street premises in Truro, a really beautiful restaurant with an excellent reputation for their food.
The evening was a resounding success with a very appreciative and enthusiastic audience who were an absolute pleasure to perform for. We thank them for their hospitality and it was so lovely to see everyone dressed in the costumes of the 1920's and having such fun. Another successful evening of murder!!

And we start it with a private party at yet another new venue just added to our repertoire at the beautiful and popular Hooked Restaurant & Bar in Tabernacle Street, Truro.
Although tomorrow tonight is a private evening, why not take a look on-line at what this beautiful venue has to offer.

FOR MURDER BY APPOINTMENT
Audiences are the life-blood of theatre.
Audiences are also the life-blood of the hospitality world and that is the two areas that we, MBA have excelled in since our first performance on the 2nd June 1992.
For many years I have welcomed the audiences at the start of our performances and in every case I have asked if anyone is returning to watch us. It continues to give me great pleasure to see so many hands go up and the number growing year on year showing as each year goes by the increase in the following we receive. Many good friends have been made.

Take as an example the figures that we can produce for murder mystery evenings performed since the 21st May 2021; the date we returned after COVID.
Since that date our records show we have performed
294 murder mystery performances,
attended by 19,938 guests in the audiences, with
ALL TICKETS SALES totalling £899,460 if taking an average price of £45 per ticket ALL MONIES GOING TO THE VENUES.
The majority of those venues have been in Cornwall but several also well beyond in Devon & Somerset.

This has involved a massive amount of commitment by the cast members of MBA and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their commitment and cooperation. It is the cast members that have made Murder by Appointment the 'Best in the West'.
Their time and commitment has been magnificent and the venues that we are associated with will confirm the professionalism shown by all involved with our performances.
We love our audiences and try our utmost to meet and greet and mingle with them. They are the magic that makes our evenings such an adventure. Many we now see as being our close friends. Long may is remain so and we wish you all a very Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year.

Thank you so much you wonderful people!!
Tonight we had another great audience at the Jamaica Inn and their enthusiasm and enjoyment was shown with the applause that followed each scene that was acted.
There was lots of fun as they tried to extract information from the suspects and both the written comments and verbal feedback at the end was so very good and kind. We love our audiences!!! .
In particular I have added the murder mystery 'jottings' of one of the gentlemen in the audience.
Over my 32 years of performing murder mystery evenings I have never seen such a 'brilliant' set of jottings. One of my cast members Kelly drew my attention to it and I felt it was worthy of being highlighted. The gentleman's name was Peter.
Well done Peter.......you are a star sir!!!!
We will be back at the Jamaica Inn again for 2025 and dates have already been booked and will appear on theirs and our website and Facebook in the coming two weeks.
Have a great Xmas & New Year.

A bit of 'Fun & Facts' about our railway years.
Every year we have a tremendous following for our programme of murder mystery evenings on the Bodmin Steam Railway.
The attached video is the 'very special stage' on which Murder by Appointment has been acting since the 2nd June 1992.
Cornish based MBA was the very first theatre company in the UK to perform regularly on a moving steam train.
The stage area in the two carriages in which we act is a total of approximately 120 feet in length!!!
Over the years we have also performed on the West Somerset Railway (for eight years) and for the past two summers and looking ahead to 2025, on the South Devon Railway.
But .... as well as the work on the railway MBA has become the largest and most successful themed theatre company west of Bristol.
We have an amazing portfolio of theatres, the very best hotels in the region together with many other venues in the West of England that have staged our performances and shared in our success story.
That's why we are 'The Best in the West'.

Firstly can MBA thank the lovely audience we had on the Bodmin Railway this evening. They were very enthusiastic and played their role towards making the evening yet another outstanding success. Two bodies found and two murders to solve. Thanks also for the really great written comments so many made on their answer form.
It's been one brilliant year on the train with great support towards Murder by Appointment and the railway itself. We look forward to returning in 2025 with yet another brilliant new summer season thriller for you to solve. Thank you for your support.

Tonight sees MBA play out their final 2024 murder mystery evening on the Bodmin Railway.
Who would ever have believed the longevity of these railway murder mysteries when we started our first one on the 2nd June 1992. Tonight's sees another year completed making it 32 years on the train!!!
Another full audience will be filling the four, yes FOUR 32 seater sections of each of the carriages. (See the attached short video film on the other FB entry)
It's been another superb year on the railway and they have had excellent ticket sales to help boost their income. All we need is the audience to arrive.

Tonight the 1920's and the Chicago 'Flamingo' nightclub came to the great Driftwood Spars at St Agnes.

A large audience and two restaurants to act in kept the cast of MBA on their toes, with each scene being acted twice and the audience feedback clearly told us that theyloved it. Working with an enthusiastic audience created a wonderful atmosphere, and so many of the audience had dressed for the occasion in 1920's attire. Wonderful!!
Thanks for playing your role in making the evening such a success. Also a big thanks to Liam and his team for the slick service and superb food on offer.
Already booked for a 2025 return.

Every murder mystery has a villain of the peace and our villain at the Carnglaze Caverns murder mystery evening on Friday was the outstanding Richard as Squire Warleggan. Wickedly evil comes easily to our Richard!!!! 😂😂

Jack and Samantha in another snippet from the evenings production. Fantastic night and the first time ever below ground!!! Well done to the Carnglaze owners and their team for a superb memorable evening for the large audience.

Video snippet of Jack and Heidi playing the roles of husband and wife Daniel and Mary Poldark at the magnificent Carnglaze Caverns to a very, very large audience on Friday evening.

Another snippet from last night's performance, again another troubled couple suffering the experiences of 'blackmail'!!!!

Snippet of film from the production as Lady Prunella Carmichael makes a point to her politician husband Reggie. I'm sure he got it!!!
