A Killer Christmas (by Acting on Location)
About
A Killer Christmas is an original immersive murder mystery written by Kane Murray and performed by our Senior Acting on Location cast.Set against the haunting backdrop of St Bride’s Church, this site-specific production is performed in the very place our story unfolds.
It’s Winter, 1999. On a bitterly cold December evening, just days before Christmas, twelve strangers become trapped inside a snowed-in, derelict church. With the doors sealed by the storm until morning, there is no escape… and nowhere to hide. When a dead body is discovered in a side room, the night spirals into accusation, paranoia, and fear. Everyone claims innocence, but each harbours secrets they would rather keep buried.
Why have they all been summoned here?
A mysterious note draws Charlotte into the darkness, promising answers to questions she cannot ignore. A group of urban hunters speak of rituals and sacrifices to Krampus, a half-goat, half-devil figure they believe stalks the town. Four homeless friends insist they are merely seeking shelter. Two young lovers flee a school prom and stumble into something far more sinister. A seemingly harmless elderly couple arrive with a bag of “Christmas gifts” that look suspiciously like knives. And two ambitious police constables race against time to solve the mystery before dawn.
But as the hours pass and tensions rise, the truth begins to unravel.
For Theatre on Foot's young actors, A Killer Christmas is a bold and demanding theatrical challenge. This is not just a whodunnit. It’s a night of secrets, suspicion, and psychological tension where nothing is quite as it seems… and someone won’t make it to Christmas morning.
