Set in the 19th century and based on the true story of the Chirnside family, the play What Was That is a mystery night tour performance that is truly captivating.

The play flourishes in the historic Werribee Mansion with a unique atmosphere. You could be forgiven for thinking you are right back in July 1908 inside the home of the Chirnside family.

July 1908 is just weeks after the death of Mary Chirnside. Her death was the result of a horrific accident. As a result, the house has taken on a new air- things are moving, and people are hearing strange noises and seeing ghostly figures.

What are those sounds in the mansion? Who lived here? What was that?

Two servants remain Maggie and Mr Duncan. They have kept their sense of humour, which they share with you while they help you explore the mystery of the Werribee Park Mansion.

During the play, you explore the mansion and its many restored rooms. You even sit around the elegant dining table, which is out of bounds for the general public. But wait, what was that?
