You choose the murderer in 'To Kill a Koeksister'

Andrew Simpson's interactive murder mystery comedy, To Kill a Koeksister, will be performed at the Kalk Bay Theatre in Cape Town, from Wednesdays through to Saturdays, starting from 8 to 25 January 2014, at 8pm.

We've all seen murder mysteries on TV and we've all had our hunches as to who the killer might be, but what if you weren't just watching the show, but were a part of it? What if the murderer could be the person sitting next to you? What if the next victim could be you?

With the phenomenal success of crime capers like the CSI series, Sherlock Holmes, Midsomer Murders and the Crime and Investigation Channel on DStv, it seems as if human beings are fascinated by whodunits. We love piecing the clues together and deciding who we think the prime suspect could be.

The show changes every night

At the beginning of the show a murder has taken place. A detective arrives to take clues. The entire audience is suspects. Anyone could be the next victim. Anyone could be the murderer. Including you! And unlike any other murder mystery in history, the show changes every night. The audience is in complete control of what happens. They decide who dies, who lives and who the murderer could be. So each performance is fun, fresh, exciting and unpredictable.

The show stars popular comedian Andrew Simpson in his 13th production as the detective and an assortment of fun and interesting characters who help the audience to piece the puzzle together.

Simpson is a producer, writer, director and actor of South African film and theatre. He achieved huge success in Grahamstown at the National Arts Festival this year with his hit shows Ghost Story and Angels and Aliens. His previous shows include The Time of Your Life at the State Theatre, Children of Sophiatown (written and directed) in SA and the UK and which was performed for Nelson Mandela. His biggest success to date was the release of his independent film Why Are We Here, last year.

Guests can enjoy a 'eat-as-much-as-you-like' feast of Mediterranean-inspired fare for R95 (excludes show ticket, dessert, coffee and drinks). Tickets for show cost R75 and R65 for Gallery seats.
