MURDER MYSTERIES can be organised for occasions such as Company Dinners, Corporate Events, Fund-raising Events and Family Celebrations, performed in your choice of venue. Dinner Murder Mystery evenings are held regularly at the Craigdarroch Lodge Hotel in Contin, Ross-shire for public and private events. For more details please contact Julia Garrison on 01997 421265 or email craigdarrochinfo@aol.com. Dates for Craigdarroch are listed on this link www.hotel-inverness.co.uk/murder_mystery_breaks.htm Other dates to suit you may be available -give Julia a phone and she may be able to accommodate you. HOW DOES A MURDER MYSTERY EVENING WORK? Meet with your fellow guests in your chosen venue around 7-7.30pm for drinks. A short introduction to the evening will follow by the Goode For A Giggle professional actors. You will then be seated for Dinner and watch short scenes performed in-between each course of your meal and a Murder will occur at some point during the evening. After Dinner you work in small teams to examine the clues, interrogate the suspects then fill in your Murder Report to name the murderer. A small prize is given to the winners. We do all the acting, but we may ask 1 or 2 more extrovert guests to "assist" us! All you have to do is, listen to the storyline, enjoy your meal and have a good giggle. Evenings usually finish around 10.30 /11.00 pm depending on the size of group and start time. Group sizes can be from 12 -100 in number. Events are not suitable for children under 14. Various themes available and guests can come dressed accordingly - Wedding, Country and Western Karaoke, Outdoor Pursuits, Lords and Ladies, Men in Black and Ladies in Red etc. We have entertained thousands of people from all over the UK and beyond - The Samaritans, Diageo, League Of Friends of Raigmore Hospital, Dr. Gray's Hospital, Elgin, NPower, Highland Food and Drink Festival, Homestart Project, Ann Summers, Spice Scotland and numerous Birthdays, Hen Nights, Staff Nights Out in venues in Highlands and Grampian. A few quotes - "I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic night. I will definitely recommend it to everyone." P. Chalmers, Dundee. "Very many thanks, we enjoyed the evening so much, Goode For A Giggle were very entertaining!" D. McKenzie, Belfast. "We loved it, what a whale of a time." A. Jenkins, Milton Keynes. "Brill Murder Mystery weekend, thanks for all your hard work!" A. Bryce, Edinburgh. "Excellent time was had by all on my Hen Night. We had such a great laugh!" R. Fraser, Inverness
FORUM THEATRE Forum Theatre is an ideal medium for training/conference events in which to tackle issues affecting the delegates in their workplace or home. Actors perform short scenarios which stop at a crucial point, then the audience have a chance to become the 'Director' of the scene and decide what the actor should do or say next in order to make the situation better. Scripts are written specifically for each event working directly with the organisation to ensure the rights points are covered.
ILLICIT Jackie Goode performs 'Illicit - The Aroma in the Gloamin' ', a one-woman show written and directed by by Euan Martin and Dave Smith from Moray-based Right Lines Productions www.rightlines.net a fast-paced comedy show about hard-nosed ambition, illicit whisky and perfume! Scotching the rumour that business start-up is singularly dull, Illicit neatly blurs the boundaries between fantasy and reality with a deluxe blend of interactive comedy, mission statements and technical wizardry – 100% proof that the show will be a barrel of laughs! Illicit runs at around 50 mins, including some interactive mingling at the start - so it is ideally suited as an "add-on" to another event, e.g. Team Building exercise, Network events, conferences, business groups - ideally performed after the main events of the day, just before dinner or lunch. Illicit has been well received by corporate and public audiences, - Speyside Whisky Festival, HIE Digital Futures event Tartan Heart Festival, Eden Court, LEC events in the Highlands, Moray Expo, Hi-Arts events and community venues around the Highlands, Islands and Grampian. The show is very adaptable, with minimal technical requirements. If an in-house projector and sound equipment are available, it would be preferable to use the venue’s facilities. Alternatively, all the necessary equipment can be provided by the company.
