Good to Know:
The murder mystery is written and directed by Sara and Sebastian Edberg from Friluftsteatern.se. Four actors play a total of six different characters. The play was performed during a single showing in 2020 at the castle and was very much appreciated by the guests. Previously, the same theatre group has performed four other murder plays – The Last Scream, The Last Drop, The Last Dance, and The Last Sin. All have been of high quality.
The acts of the murder mystery take place between the courses of the Christmas dinner, so it’s perfectly fine to talk and socialize as usual during the meal. However, we kindly ask you to keep noise levels low during the acts to avoid disturbing other guests in the hall.
As a guest, you do not participate in the acting itself. However, the actors move continuously between the tables, so you experience proximity to the performance during all acts. For "The Last Verse," the audience is encouraged to participate voluntarily in a lottery by marking who they suspect is guilty before the final act unfolds.
