Information for Death(s) at Sea at Dorchester Arts Centre, Dorchester (Play). A small theatre company are performing their murder mystery play Death at Sea, but during the show everything goes wrong. The original play, Death at Sea, is a thrilling murder mystery set in the 1930s on a small ship carrying just five passengers and its Captain. When one of the passengers, Mr Inus, is found dead- murdered, the remaining passengers speculate and turn on one another until the real murderer, or murderers, are caught. But that isn't how this play goes! In Death(s) at Sea props fail, the set falls down, actors get drunk and concussed, and conversations in the wings reveal too much. If they can only make it to the end of the play before one of them really kills someone! Corn Exchange
