An evening of drama, dining and deception...

ABOUT THE SHOW
Her Grace the Duchess of Wychborough cordially invites you to join her in welcoming the new headmaster to Blue Coat School.
The great and good of the parish will all be there. As one of Blue Coat’s many esteemed donors, your name is on the guest list.
But while the school mourns the previous headmaster, Mr Charles Greenway, tensions are high.
The Blue Coat community is marred by old secrets and bitter rivalries. And when the late Mr Greenway’s friends and critics dine together, uncomfortable truths are bound to come to light.
Christmas should be a time to set aside differences and leave the past behind. But someone - or something - is out to ensure that old acquaintance will never be forgot.
Wear your best 1920s evening attire and bring an appetite. You’ll meet the characters before you dine - then sit back, enjoy your meal, and watch the story unfold between courses. 
Brought to you by Coventry’s Ego Arts, a professional cast of actors, and a community ensemble.
GOOD TO KNOW
Doors open at 7pm for the drinks reception. Guests must be seated by 7.30pm.
Suitable for all ages, but recommended for 14+. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult 18+.
What’s included in the ticket price? Your ticket includes a delicious three-course meal, three drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and a show.
Is there a dress code? The dress code is formal. 1920s evening attire is strongly encouraged.
What’s on the menu? The full menu is below. You will be sent a meal booking form with your order confirmation - please select your food options before the week of the show. 
How will I be seated? You’ll be seated at a dining table for the full performance. There will be a seating plan to ensure groups can sit together.
Do groups need to book their tickets in one booking? Ideally, yes. But if you’d like to be seated with another group who booked separately, please let us know by emailing <a href="mailto:agathachristmas2022@gmail.com">agathachristmas2022@gmail.com</a> and we’ll try our best to seat you together.
Is there a vegan option? Of course! Vegan and non-vegan options are available.
How much audience participation is there? You’ll meet the characters on arrival, but once you’re seated we want you to sit back and enjoy your meal. The performance will take place in the dining hall before and after each course. 
What is the etiquette in the dining hall? Everyone to remain standing on arrival of the Duchess. All gentlemen to pull seats out for ladies to sit, no gentlemen to sit down until all ladies around the table are seated.
