Blind Veterans UK, a local charity for blind and vision-impaired ex-Service men and women, is inviting local residents to join them for a Bond-themed Murder Mystery dinner that promises to leave guests both shaken and stirred.
The evening, titled The Spy Who Killed Me, has been written by A Play Fitted Theatre Company. The event will take place on Friday 13 April at Chateau Rhianfa, Menai Bridge.
Victoria Beech, Regional Fundraiser for Blind Veterans UK, says: “At previous Murder Mystery dinners, guests have always embraced the opportunity to get dressed up and lose themselves in their characters. Selecting the award for best dressed has never been an easy task. The latest script, brilliantly produced and performed by A Play Fitted Theatre Company, will give guests the opportunity to be wonderfully creative.
“Without wanting to Jinx ourselves, we feel this could be our best Murder Mystery event yet!”
The drama will focus on notorious evil mastermind, Herr Otto Matic, as he plans to dispose of his arch enemy and spy extraordinaire, James Pond. Guests will have to work with their fellow diners to crack the mystery, with the murderer being revealed at the end of the evening. Prizes will be awarded to both the winning table and the best dressed contestants.
During the evening, while guests are not troubling themselves with The Spy Who Killed Me, they’ll be able to turn their attention to The Spy Who Fed Me, with Chataeu Rhianfa exercising its License to Grill with a mouth-watering four-course menu. After all, All The Food In The World Is (still) Not Enough.
Between the Chicken Liver (Let Die) Parfait, Chicken Leg Bon (the name’s James) Bon and delicious chocolate-based Octopuddings, diners will have the perfect opportunity to Diet Another Day. And while, sadly, there won’t be any Moneypenne, fans of Italian cuisine will be able to savour the tasty Wild Mushroom Gnocchi
Just remember, whatever you do, don’t ask for Her Majesty’s Secret Recipe.
