Picture the scene, if you can: you're in a restaurant in Havana, Cuba, in the late-1950s, dining with a colourful bunch including a Texan oil tycoon, a spicy diva and a corrupt general. Suddenly the sound of gunfire pierces the air and you realise the oil baron has been shot. Everyone present - including the audience - has a reason for wanting him dead. So, whodunit?
This is the question you'll be asked at , a refreshing bit of dinner theatre that resembles an all-singing, all-dancing game of Cluedo, and was created by David Andrews, founder and director of Chunky Onion Productions.
"The audience is a part of the performance - there's a basic storyline, but there's a lot of [improvisation] and interaction. The story will go where the audience takes it," says Andrews, who is also director and scriptwriter of the show.
Clues are provided by a reporter chasing a big scoop, a mock Cuban newspaper distributed to the audience and various hints hidden throughout the venue.
"My main aim is to ensure the audience has a really good time. I'm not a theatre snob and just wrote a story which I think is very funny. The actors are all very talented and good at what we call close-up performing, as opposed to performing on stage. They will be sitting at your table and interacting with you," says Andrews.
