Murder at Wilton Windmill

Wilton Windmill is to be the setting for a murder mystery event, written especially for the venue by professional actors.

The “seriously scary” immersive event is being staged by Smoke & Mirrors, a company of actors trained at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and the Central School of Speech and Drama, who specialise in bringing murder mysteries to interesting and historic buildings.

Alex Rain, from Smoke & Mirrors, told Marlborough News Online: “The plot features a television producer filming a programme – live on the night – about the supernatural.

“The producer is at Wilton, having been invited by a local psychic medium who has a great revelation that she wants witnessed by our audience and the TV cameras

“But the medium is in cahoots with an immoral and unscrupulous historian, who’s hoping to cash in on the deal.”

Mr Rain promised the audience “some of our most spectacular set-pieces to date, as well as the most ambitious murder we’ve ever attempted.”

And he revealed that the cast would include an actor familiar to fans of the TV hospital drama Holby City. 

Murder at the Mill will take place on Saturday, June 8 from 7.30pm with tickets costing £20. For full booking details, visit www.wiltonwindmill.co.uk/2013/04/02/murder-mystery-at-wilton-windmill/
