On Thursday March 15 and Friday March 16, Le Rideau Theatre Café will transform into a film noir movie set where a murder suspect is at large. Perilous Mouths Entertainment’s Murder at Café Noir, staged on two nights only, is a humorous, “whodunit” dinner theatre performance that plays on the film noir genre of the 40s and invites the audience to be part of the action.
Tickets are available at Le Rideau and cost $370, including a three-course dinner. Doors open at 7pm and dinner is served at 8pm. Audience members are encouraged to dress up as their favourite characters from 1940s film noirs. At the end of the evening, audience members can play sleuth and guess the murderer. Prizes go to the winners.
Inspired by classic films like Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon and Farewell My Lovely, Murder at Café Noir is home to all the usual suspects: a black market dealer, a voodoo priestess, a disgraced British barrister, a blackmailer, a gun runner and a cop. With its tongue-in-cheek humour, musical interludes and fast-paced action, the show is a guaranteed evening of entertainment.
Le Rideau’s centrally-positioned stage and intimate environment offers the ideal setting to enjoy this interactive performance.
Le Rideau Theatre Café is Hong Kong’s only performing arts bistro: a restaurant, bar, lounge and performing arts venue, dedicated to staging regular music and theatre events.
