Cult hit ‘Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote’ is coming to Middlesbrough this May (and Newcastle in June).

You don’t watch these Murder She Wrote events, you experience them. I’ll go further: you interact with them. The nights have become huge live favourites and feature games, prizes and audience participation. Each night includes an interactive screening of a classic ‘Murder, She Wrote’ episode and also features: a race to solve the crime via the Fameometer and Suspiciometer; a Cabot Cove quiz; a sing-a-long to the theme tune with new lyrics; and clips and biogs of the campy guest stars. The Middlesbrough event is ‘Sing a Song of Murder’ (with Jessica visiting London) and the Newcastle event is ‘Paint Me a Murder’ (with Jessica invited to the remote island home of a famous artist).

Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote: Friday 30 May, Middlesbrough Theatre, 6.45pm, £20, boxoffice.middlesbrough.gov.uk; Friday 13 June, Tyne Theatre & Opera House, 7.30pm, £23.50, tynetheatreandoperahouse.uk
