Style: Dining theatre
Where: Pedley Street Station

Rating: 3/5 stars

This was my third Pedley Street experience having previously reviewed Journey to the Underworld and The Greatest Snowman. As always the food was exceptional and the show light-hearted and fun.

However, as more and more companies are doing immersive dining now, it seems that Funicular are pulling back from the more audience-led elements. So while murder express was silly, fun and charming, it wasn’t immersive.

The story is simple. Part murder mystery, part farce it’s a broad comedy which sends up all the cliches of a murder mystery in ways that put a smile on my face (as did the rather lethal absinthe cocktails!).

This isn’t a show that will change your life, but it was a great deal of fun. It’s worth the price tag for the meal alone but despite it being less…
