Murder Mystery Night Special with the Unusual Suspects
'Pirates of the English Channel'
A group of pirate ships have moored off the coast. They believe that somewhere in this area is buried treasure. They all want to get there first. They have come to Croxteth, a well-known pirates' sanctuary, to stay. With this much booty at stake it won't be long before one of them is sent to Davy Jones' Locker. But which one of these bilge rats did it? So, my hearties, make sure your timbers are shivered as a rollicking good time is afore ye! Our spoof Murder Mystery will be a hugely enjoyable evening you won't forget. We live up to our name; we really are the most Unusual Suspects!
