There’s been a murder! When the pub landlord in her sleepy village is mysteriously murdered, middle-aged armchair detective Miss Boot can’t resist running a vigilante investigation. She’s watched Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and Vera for long enough, who says she can’t kick her little grey cells into gear and crack the case?
Bolstered by her new best friend (the wife of the deceased) and the nosy old lady from next door, Miss Boot follows the baffling trail of clues deep into the seedy underbelly of the Parish Council Bake Sale, behind the pews of a tricky sermon and to the bright lights of Cardiff. Will she find the means, motive and opportunity? And can the killer be caught? Get your knitting needles at the ready and join in the quest to give Miss Marple a run for her money.
Miss Boot Solves a Murder is a wild one-woman comedy with one actor performing over 30 characters, at least one song and a chase scene through Cardiff and the Bay all on her own. Expect slapstick comedy, a dose of chaos and a lot of murder mystery puns in the race to catch the killer!
Audio description is a live commentary interspersed with the actors' dialogue. This is relayed via a headset linked to the infra-red audio system. There is a short 'programme notes' session, before the production, which explains the atmosphere, costumes, characters and action.
BSL
British Sign Language Performance
Signed performances are ideal for those who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) signers usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as it is being performed.
R
Relaxed Screening/Performance
Open to everyone, but particularly appropriate for anyone who may find the usual theatre/cinema environment challenging, due to an Autism Spectrum Condition, a learning disability, or a fear of the dark, loud noises or confined spaces.
Relaxed Performances/Screenings provide a relaxed environment, where elements are adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. Lighting and sound levels are adjusted to soften their impact and there is a relaxed attitude to noise and leaving and re-entering the auditorium during the performance/screening.
Designated 'chill-out' areas are provided outside the auditorium with activities for people to use if being in the auditorium becomes overwhelming for them.
T
Touch Tour
A Touch Tour is ideal for blind and partially-sighted audiences to familiarise themselves with the set ahead of the performance.
C
Captioned Screening/Performance
Captions display dialogue on-screen (similar to subtitles) and also describe the audio or sound portion of a film/performance allowing audience members who are D/deaf or hard of hearing to follow the script and the action of the film/performance at the same time.
For live performances, the screen is positioned at the side of the stage.
