Curious Cat Theatre

is a new English-speaking theatre group in Utrecht! On this website you can buy tickets for an interactive murder mystery to raise funds for Alpe d’Huzes: Murder on the Mountain, which will be performed on 17, 18 and 19 April. (This is not an official Curious Cat production but as it’s made by us and our friends, it’s an excellent excuse to pull up our socks and get our website launched)

The first official Curious Cat show, We wish you a Murderous Christmas, will be performed in November or December 2026. Perfect for people who love cheesy Hallmark romcoms and Agatha Christie!

Murder on the Mountain

Ask a mountaineer why they want to climb a mountain, and they will tell you Because it’s there! But all the members of the Phipps Expedition seem to have ulterior motives… It’s 1926 and we find ourselves near Alpe d’Huez in the French Alps. Tomorrow, a group of intrepid mountaineers will set out to do… what exactly? Some want to climb mountains, others are suspiciously keen to stay down in the valleys. And for some reason there’s a ditsy chorus girl who just wants everyone to be friends. Tempers fray and egos clash, and when one of the group is brutally murdered the expedition ends before it has even begun. Can Inspector Halliday solve the case before the murderer strikes again? Can you?

Murder on the Mountain is an interactive murder mystery! You will watch the story unfold and have the chance to interrogate everyone. Come join us for an evening of mountaineering, mayhem and murder (no crampons needed!) and see if you can find out whodunit!
