The year is 1879 and you are all invited to the autopsy of Jacob John Canning. But something is wrong....very wrong. It appears that Canning's death wasn't natural causes - we need you to solve the case! Come back to Victorian London with us and help Detective Slaughter crack the mystery! 


Previously performed at the Old Operating Theatre in London Bridge - Play Dead London are bringing back this marvellously spooky mystery - this time directly to your living rooms! 


"What follows is a clever use of technology to bring the art of fully immersive theatre with interactions right into the room with you.  Back stories are polished, characters are believable and there are plot twists and turns which would have even made the late Ms Christie raise an eyebrow and give a wry smile." www.londontheatrereviews.co.uk


This is an interactive ZOOM event - where audience will have the chance to explore the Zoom platform independently. You will be given instructions on how to move to different breakout rooms in order for you to have the BEST experience of 'A Deadly Dose' during the show. We recommend no more than 2 people per device to fully enjoy the experience and to enjoy this on a laptop/computer device. 


PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR EMAIL IS CORRECT AT THE TIME OF BOOKING - AS LINKS AND INFORMATION WILL BE SENT OUT A DAY BEFORE THE SHOW - DO ALSO CHECK JUNK/SPAM. IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND AN EMAIL FROM US A DAY BFORE YOUR MYSTERY THEN CONTACT US DIRECTLY playdeadlondon@aol.com.

    What a brilliant evening! So great to spending an evening doing something so interactive and different. Loved interviewing the actors and working it all out! Although we didn't get it right!!! Would highly recommend. Lovely venue too!

    Whilst the acting was great fun (though not immediately obvious from S that it was 70s based) the underlying details of the night being mostly paper based with very short interview periods was a bit dull really and without enough information really to decide who the murderer was. Even after we found out it really wasn’t clear. Too much to read. No fun puzzles. I don’t think we were stupid? It should be hard but when solution is revealed you should realise how you could have “got “ it. I would not recommend this one

    Dear Clare, We're so sorry that you didn't enjoy the show as much as we'd hoped. We'd love to chat more about this with you - as we always take our feedback extremely seriously. Especially on the puzzle aspect - with shredded documents, morse code and a coded message we upped our puzzles for this show. We'd also be happy to chat through how you can solve the show - as this is something that always enjoy doing! Do reach out to us at playdeadlondon@aol.com :-) Many thanks, PDL x
