But who killed the English actress? This daft and entertaining show gives the audience the chance to make the sound effects and take part in scenes as they are recorded in a special edition of the play. There’s a part for everyone in The Mystery of the Blue Moon Saloon. ★★★★★ Northern Arts Review "Rip-roaringly funny – a real delight" "The fun is packed into every line, every exchange of hats, every press of a button on the sound equipment. It is slapstick at its best from well-seasoned performers. It is not often you can experience an audience ranging from eight-year-olds to octogenarians all crying with laughter at the same thing – but you can experience this down at the Blue Moon Saloon." "Ye-ha! Mystery of the Blue Moon Saloon. Absolutely brilliant. Amazing character actors, each playing many parts in many hats. It was bound to be fun. What made it exceptional was the way they engaged us. We were encouraged to be outrageous as members of the notorious Appleby Gang, wearing cowboy hats and firing our “guns”. We laughed and clapped as the mystery unfolded. Fab evening. Every one seemed to be leaving with a smile.” - Kirkby Stephen Social Club, Cumbria
