Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote at the National Opera House Wexford

What to Expect

Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote runs for two nights at the National Opera House, on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, both at 7:30 PM. The format is an interactive screening of a single classic episode, in this case “Paint Me a Murder”, hosted live from the stage by super-fan Tim Benzie. The audience is part of the show rather than watching it in silence.

Between and during the episode there are games, prizes and a crime-solving competition run through what the show calls the Fameometer and the Suspiciometer, plus a Cabot Cove quiz and a singalong to the theme tune. The production has toured across the UK, Ireland, the United States and Australia and has played a string of festivals, so the running order is well drilled. Prior knowledge of the series is not required, though the room usually contains plenty of people who can name every recurring character in Cabot Cove.

Getting There

The National Opera House is on High Street in the middle of Wexford town, a short walk uphill from the quays. Drive in on the N11 from Dublin and Gorey or the N25 from Rosslare Europort and New Ross. Wexford O’Hanrahan railway station, on the Dublin Connolly to Rosslare Europort line, is roughly ten minutes on foot, though Sunday services are thinner than weekdays. Paid parking is available on the quay front and in the town centre car parks.
