What Type Of Plays Do We Stage?
RoCo has staged a variety of different plays including comedies, dramas and even the odd panto too! Our choice of script usually depends on what size of cast we are able to put together for each production.
Tickets
Tickets for our drama productions are usually priced £10 (unless advertised otherwise). Any prices for concessions will be advertised per production.
Tickets for our murder mysteries are usually priced £12 (unless advertised otherwise). Funds raised from ticket sales for our murder mysteries enable us to provide a light supper, which is served during the interval. As such, tickets cannot be reserved for collection on the door unless paid for in advance.
Tickets will be able to be purchased online via the website, via telephone or with cash/card at St Andrew's. The box office opening date and information for purchasing your tickets will be included on publicity materials, here on the RoCo website and via our mailing list and social media accounts.

The Interval
For our drama productions we typically have a twenty minute (approx) interval midway through the play, where soft drinks, tea and coffee will be available to purchase from the bar. Alcoholic beverages are available at the evening shows. Refreshments can be purchased with both cash/card payment methods.
A selection of RoCo merch will also be available to purchase at the bar.
For our murder mysteries we typically have a forty minute (approx) interval, where a light supper is served between the murder and the denouement. We ask audience members to request any veggie/vegan/gluten free (and any other dietary requirements) when booking their tickets, so that we can prepare accordingly.
There is no interval bar at our murder mysteries - audience members are asked to bring their own drinks, including soft drinks, beer, wine and shop bought cocktails. We also ask audiences to bring their own glasses/cups and to take away and recycle their bottles, etc, for the ease of clean-up at the end of each evening.

Murder Mystery Interval Quiz & Raffle
During the interval, the audience are tasked with a bit of sleuthing to do. Quiz sheets are handed out to be filled in by each table/team, and at the end of the evening the answers will be read out, and the winning team announced and presented with their prize! The winner is the table/team with the highest overall score that also guesses correctly who the murderer was.
We also hold a raffle during the interval for our murder mysteries. We only hold one from time to time for our drama productions.
