About All Star 
Murder Mysteries

At the heart of our Murder Mysteries is a passion for storytelling, performance and audience engagement.

​

I have had a long career in the entertainment industry as an Actor/Dancer/Singer and I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. 

 

I have also always been fascinated by the power of a good mystery to captivate and entertain.

So I wanted to take that one step further. The idea for our immersive murder mystery events evolved when I was asked to bring together a group of actors for a charity event in the northeast of England. 

​

We hosted a murder mystery weekend, and the response was overwhelming.

​

I realised there was a gap in the market for entertainment that doesn’t just happen in front of an audience, but with them. 

People don’t just want to sit and watch a story unfold, they want to be part of it.

​

Inspired by the interactive spirit of theatrical improvisation, and audience participation, we created a unique format where the audience plays a central role in solving the crime. 

​

Our professional actors work from a basic script, but much of the performance is improvised, creating a dynamic and unpredictable atmosphere. The story unfolds in four scenes, with key pieces of evidence presented between acts, giving the audience a chance to examine clues, question suspects, and piece together the mystery themselves.

​

Period costumes, with attention to detail and authenticity, are central to what we do. We encourage guests to dress up according to the event’s theme, which adds an extra layer of fun and immersion.

​

The result? An unforgettable night where the line between performer and audience disappears, and everyone gets to experience the thrill of the mystery.

​

Whether you’re a seasoned sleuth or a first-time detective, our events promise intrigue, excitement and plenty of surprises.

​

Come join us and see if you can crack the case!

​

Yours sincerely,

​

Laura Collins
