A FUNERAL FEAST

An extraordinary evening a lá Edgar Wallace with at least one corpse.
A trail of suspects leads to Edesheim from December. More precisely, to the Hotel Schloss Edesheim, where an illustrious company gathers for a special celebration. The occasion is the reading of the will of the wealthy and suddenly deceased Lord Ashtonburry. His widow receives the invited guests in the dining room of the Scottish manor house at lavishly decorated tables for the funeral feast. Until then, it seems to be a normal clan reunion.
But what happens during the course of the delicious 4-course meal hints at mysterious entanglements. Should you be the undoing of one of the relatives? Did the lord really die of natural causes or did he stumble upon his rapacious nephew, illegitimate daughter or perhaps Lady Ashtonburry has something to hide?
After initial confusion, it quickly becomes clear that each of those present would have had a more than valid reason to commit murder. And with that, the stage is set. Not only for the inspector who is called in, but also for the obscure relatives who make themselves more than suspicious. The investigations into the case bring long-kept family secrets and intrigues to light and culminate in mutual suspicions.
At the end of an exciting evening of crime thrillers, the eagerly puzzling guests may have made themselves suspects, been misled or proved their worth as detectives.

With the Hotel Schloss Edesheim in Edesheim, another charming venue is added. If the love of puzzles and feasting continues to be so infectious, we can expect performances to be constantly sold out here as well.

You’ll be in for a spooky treat when the voice of the secret director rings out over the event: “Hello! This is Edgar Wallace.”
