SUMMARY:New Old Friends: Crimes on the Christmas Express
DESCRIPTION:An all-new hilarious Christmas comedy thriller from the people behind Crimes Against Christmas last year. \nTommy Albyn\, the whisky laird\, has died\, and an eccentric cast of characters who hope to inherit his wealth are summoned for a perilous train ride through the Scottish Highlands in the dead of winter before his will can be read. Will they all survive? Spoiler alert: no. But it’ll be fun to watch the ride. \nThe plot is sort of Succession meets The Traitors meets Murder on the Orient Express\, but as with all New Old Friends shows is mainly a vehicle for the fun of watching four talented actors play multiple roles with lightning-fast costume changes\, set pieces as clever as they are ridiculous\, plenty of visual gags\, and some wonderfully witty wordplay. \nWe are utterly thrilled that our multi-award-winning associate company is presenting this world premiere at the Merlin. The 2025 show sold incredibly well\, and the word is out now\, so we expect this to sell out. Booking early is strongly advised.\nHeadline show sponsor: Brûler \nNew Old Friends is a Merlin Associate Company \nTickets: £15 early bird special until September\nAfter September: £17 | Concessions including Blue Light Card: £15\nAge Guidance: 12+\nRunning Time: 100 minutes plus interval

DESCRIPTION:An all-new hilarious Christmas comedy thriller from the people behind Crimes Against Christmas last year. \nTommy Albyn\, the whisky laird\, has died\, and an eccentric cast of characters who hope to inherit his wealth are summoned for a perilous train ride through the Scottish Highlands in the dead of winter before his will can be read. Will they all survive? Spoiler alert: no. But it’ll be fun to watch the ride. \nThe plot is sort of Succession meets The Traitors meets Murder on the Orient Express\, but as with all New Old Friends shows is mainly a vehicle for the fun of watching four talented actors play multiple roles with lightning-fast costume changes\, set pieces as clever as they are ridiculous\, plenty of visual gags\, and some wonderfully witty wordplay. \nWe are utterly thrilled that our multi-award-winning associate company is presenting this world premiere at the Merlin. The 2025 show sold incredibly well\, and the word is out now\, so we expect this to sell out. Booking early is strongly advised.\nHeadline show sponsor: Brûler \nNew Old Friends is a Merlin Associate Company \nTickets: £15 early bird special until September\nAfter September: £17 | Concessions including Blue Light Card: £15\nAge Guidance: 12+\nRunning Time: 100 minutes plus interval
