Five killer murder mystery shows are coming to Blackpool Grand Theatre

The shows will visit Blackpool later this year.

The Grand Theatre has announced that five killer murder mystery shows will be heading to Blackpool this winter.

The shows begin on Friday 9 October with Edinburgh Fringe favourites Degrees of Error and their ingenious improvised comedy Murder, She Didn’t Write.

There is no script, no predetermined victim and no ending waiting backstage, and instead the audience becomes the author of the show.

From Tuesday 20 to Saturday 24 October, the producers of Murder at Midnight and Murder in the Dark return with Torben Betts’ wickedly entertaining new thriller The Other Side of Murder.

During Halloween week the WhatsOnStage Award-winning Heathers The Musical takes over The Grand from Tuesday 27 to Saturday 31 October.

The new year begins with an encounter audiences will not forget when The Silence of the Lambs arrives from Monday 11 to Saturday 16 January 2027. For the first time, Thomas Harris’ landmark psychological thriller can be seen on stage.

Then, from Thursday 25 to Saturday 27 February, A Shoddy Detective and The Art of Deception arrives in Blackpool direct from the West End. The laugh-out-loud comedy is a whodunnit featuring four actors, a dozen characters and a spectacular quantity of chaos.
