The Hotel Mansion and the Missing Souls

2024

‘The Hotel Mansion and the Missing Souls’ is a Stage-Play created by 19 children in their 4th and 5th year of Primary School.

When six students realise they got on the wrong bus to the school museum trip, they decide to get off the bus. Nearby, there is a Hotel Mansion where they choose to seek shelter from the storm. Upon arrival, the Hotel Manager offers the six students two rooms for the night, but things at the Hotel Mansion aren’t quite what they seem! One by one, the students start disappearing in the hotel, so the remaining students and a pair of detectives begin to investigate what is happening. They interview the other Hotel guests, and slowly but surely they start to uncover the mystery of The Hotel Mansion and the Missing Souls…

An original Stage-Play inspired by the murder mystery board-game Cluedo, ‘The Hotel Mansion and the Missing Souls’ was written over the course of the 2023/24 academic year by a group of 19 non-native English San Patricio students aged 9-10. It included elements of comedy and moral messages related to bravery, teamwork and problem solving.
