The play centres around a “splendid dinner party in an Edinburgh stately home  which concludes with a murder mystery game created by the hostess. A murder needs to be solved. But the guests have secrets of their own, threatened by the very game they are playing. And among them is Inspector John Rebus. True crime is his calling. Is he playing an alternative game, one to which only he knows the rules?” 

The play will be staged at Festival Theatre from 10 to 14 September 2024. Tickets are on sale now with £25 on the day tickets available in September.
