Murder on the Disorient Express

Three hours of 1920s murder mystery — adult-themed comedy by Fancy Entertainment, in a reserved carriage on board the 12.45pm train.

January 2nd, 1925. Passengers have boarded the luxurious ‘Disorient Express’ en route from Istanbul to Paris. Only the richest and most powerful guests can afford a ticket, and all are settled into their first trip of the new year. What could possibly go wrong?

Come and meet Charles ‘Charlie’ Chapstick, Virginia Chapstick, Dr. Sergei Fraud, Coco Crystelle, Arthur ‘Artie’ F’Artie and Ruth Randall.

Get yourself in the mood for sleuthing

We highly encourage fancy dress. Dress to impress with some of these razzle-dazzle 1920s suggestions — flapper dresses, pin-stripe suits, tassels and feathers, braces and gangster style.

For more inspiration, look up the Great Gatsby, Charlie Chaplin, Al Capone, Coco Chanel or Zelda Sayre.
