MURDER mysteries can make you walk a virtual tightrope, looking for clues in unexpected places.

And now a Shinfield-based theatre group is preparing to launch a high flying crime to solve in a special virtual event.

There has been a murder in a travelling circus, and there’s a chance for viewers at home to crack the case.

The Shinfield Players have a reputation for organising murder mystery evenings during non-covid times.

Now it is returning with an online version, taking place using the Zoom video conferencing software on Saturday, March 13.

The am-dram group is inviting participants to watch the action and then cross-examine suspects.
