‘Dracula is Dead’ Murder Mystery with Taunton Thespians
19th October 2026 - Taunton Brewhouse

Join bestselling crime author, Clare Donoghue and the Taunton Thespians at the Brewhouse Theatre for a thrilling evening of death, detective work and drinks and nibbles.

The Brewhouse Bards are making their final preparations for their Halloween performance of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. With only a handful of main parts and stage time to fight for, competition is fierce. On the night of the dress rehearsal, a selective few members of the public have been invited to the performance. However, as with all dress rehearsals they’ve been told to expect delays, interruptions and the occasional missed line, and entrance. What they didn’t expect was murder.

Can our audience, turned detectives, solve the murder before the killer strikes again?

Detectives will be put into teams of 6 to solve the murder and there will be special prizes for the top three teams.

Book a full team of 6 in one transaction and get £5 off per person! Tickets include the murder mystery experience, nibbles supplied by Mr Miles, plus a book by Clare Donoghue. Clare will also do a book signing at the end of the event.
