With the theme of the evening set in the 17th century, I found it suitable to be playing parts and movements from G.F. Handel's flute sonatas. So as the guests arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, I was playing beautiful baroque flute music. The wheather was lovely on Friday evening, and all the guests were standing outside, chatting with a glass of welcomming juice and I provided the background music, creating the mood for the evening!
The evening's plot for the murder mystery was inspired from the forthcoming opera Lucia di Lammermoor, conducted by Chris Dowdeswell and directed by Angelo Gobbato, which takes place in October this year.
Set in the 17th century in the Scottish Lowlands, The Mystery of the Ravenswood Castle Ghost, introduces you to Lucy Ashton who is haunted by a ghost on her father’s estate. Lucy is certain that the ghost means to warn her of something and she has the distinct feeling that the warning may relate to her forthcoming marriage. She is certain that if she can establish who murdered the woman who keeps haunting her, she will once more feel safe and have the courage to break her unwilling engagement. The guests were invited to join Lucy at her engagement party and help uncover the murderer of the Ravenswood Castle Ghost.
