Following 2018’s sell-out smash hit Crimes Under the Sun, multi-award-winning theatre company, New Old Friends, returns to the Barn Theatre in Cirencester with another hilariously inventive comedy thriller.

And thanks to the generosity of the team they have kindly provided our readers with the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to see the show.

Belgian detective extraordinaire, Artemis Arinae, is set to enjoy a holiday cruise along the river Nile when tragedy strikes once more.

All the passengers and staff aboard are suspects, and the murder count is growing, will Arinae’s little grey cells identify the murderer in time?

Directed again by James Farrell (RSC, 39 Steps West-End) the cast of just four bring to life multiple outrageous characters, inventive set pieces and whisk the plot along in a face-paced piece of light-hearted comedy theatre.

The British Theatre Guide described the performance as “Murder most fun” and Theatre Bath said that the show included a “Display of comic acting it would be hard to see equalled anywhere” - what will you think?
