Set onboard a glamorous train with lavish furnishings, ‘The Murdér Express’ will transport guests back in time to the grandeur of the 19th century. Travelling by train for pleasure is in its infancy and with it comes a special kind of thrill. Departing from Funicular’s ‘Pedley Street Station’, passengers are invited to be one of the first to experience ‘The Murdér Express’ as it makes its first historic journey from London to the fictional town of Murdér in France. Entering via the Pedley Street Station ‘Seven Sins’ Bar, passengers of ‘The Murdér Express’ will wet their whistles whilst luggage is packed onboard. Joined by characters such as Frank, an East End Costermonger, Tilley, a music hall star, Vera, a widow in search of adventure and Cliff, a local antique dealer as they embark on the trip of a lifetime. Guests will board via the elegant dining car, featuring plush booth seating lit by period table lamps. The menu, designed by BBC One’s MasterChef 2016 finalists, Billy and Jack, will be served as the story of the ‘The Murdér Express’ unfolds.
Funicular’s debut show, ‘The Murdér Express’, opens to the general public on Friday 25th May 2018. For tickets, please visit: https://www.funicularproductions.com/tickets
