This is Not a Murder Mystery
Thursday June 4
A unique, visually stunning and surprising whodunit set in the flamboyant 1930s. Young René Magritte’s (Pierre Gervais) life is about to change when he’s invited to participate in a private art exhibition at an opulent English estate, owned by the flamboyant Lord James (Aoibhinn McGinnity). It’s 1936 and the art world is abuzz with the rise of surrealism.
Fellow guests include Salvador Dali (Iñaki Mur), Lee Miller (Florence Hall), Man Ray (Frank Bourke), and Max Ernst (Mike Hoffman) – all artists on the brink of global fame. But after a wild night, Magritte wakes up beside the dead body of a young woman, with no memory of the previous evening. As more bodies fall and Scotland Yard arrives to lock down the estate, Magritte must uncover the truth to clear his name. Is everything what it seems, or nothing at all?
