Overview of this event
An immersive murder mystery, live in the Justice & Police Museum!
Sydney's bizarre and infamous true crime is brought to life in 'Shark Arm Case', an immersive murder mystery at the historic, 170-year-old Justice & Police Museum near Circular Quay.
Written by Kyla Lee Ward, this gripping theatrical event revisits the real events of 1935, when a tiger shark in Coogee Aquarium famously regurgitated a human arm bearing a distinctive tattoo.
Audiences will step into the murky underworld of 1930s Sydney, where smuggling, insurance fraud and cold-blooded murder intertwine.
As the case unravels, meet a cast of compelling characters including Detective Sergeant Frank Matthews, underworld figures, and the wives of key suspects.
Blending immersive storytelling with live theatre, 'Shark Arm Case' invites participants to explore the Museum's spaces while uncovering clues in a thrilling recreation of one of Australia's most perplexing unsolved crimes.
