A musical murder mystery is coming to Theatre Royal Winchester.

Murder for Two will show from Thursday, October 31 to Saturday, November 2.

The story opens with a birthday party for an acclaimed novelist, but when the birthday boy is found dead, all the guests become suspects.

The twist is that the entire story is told by just two actor-musicians, who play all the characters and also share a piano, taking turns to play throughout.

West End actor Elliot Clay (The Mousetrap) as the detective, with Lucy Keirl (The 39 Steps, Stephen Joseph Theatre; Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare North Playhouse) playing all the suspects.

Brought to the stage by the Chipping Norton Theatre, the show promises an evening of non-stop live music from the actors' shared piano, with plenty of chaos for good measure.

Murder for Two is recommended for ages 12 and up.
