Everyone has seen murder mysteries on TV and everyone has had their hunches as to who the killer might be, but what if one wasn’t just watching the show, but part of it?

With the phenomenal success of crime capers like the CSI series, Sherlock Holmes, Midsomer Murders and the Crime and Investigation channel on DStv, it seems as if human beings are fascinated by whodunits. People love piecing the clues together and deciding who they think the prime suspect could be. So the time has come to take one step closer to the action in this fresh, fun and innovative show, To Kill a Koeksister.

At the beginning of the show a murder has taken place. A detective arrives to take clues. The entire audience are suspects. Anyone could be the next victim. Anyone could be the murderer. And unlike any other murder mystery in history, the show changes every night. The audience is in complete control of what happens. They decide who dies, who lives and who the murderer could be. So each performance is fun, fresh, exciting and unpredictable.

The show stars popular comedian Andrew Simpson in his thirteenth production as the detective and an assortment of fun and interesting characters who help the audience to piece the puzzle together.

Simpson is a producer, writer, director and actor of South African film and theatre. He achieved huge success in Grahamstown at the National Arts Festival with his hit shows Ghost Story and Angels and Aliens. His previous shows include The Time of Your Life at the State Theatre, Children of Sophiatown (wrote and directed) in South Africa and the UK, which was performed for former president Nelson Mandela. His biggest success to date was the release of his hit independent film, Why Are We Here.

So, whodunit? Get out one's magnifying glasses, crack the mystery and follow the clues to a night of sheer fun in this edge of the seat must-see that will keep one guessing non-stop with its twists and turns.

To Kill a Koeksister will be performed from Wednesday, 8 to Saturday, 25 January 2014 at 20:00. Guests can enjoy an eat-as-much-as-you-like feast of Mediterranean-inspired fare for only R95 (excludes show ticket, dessert, coffee and drinks).
