Fresh from a sell-out UK tour, the Edinburgh Fringe-favourite Murder, She Didn’t Write is back. This improvised whodunnit sees improv legends Degrees of Error perform an entirely improvised Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery every afternoon, where the spectator becomes the author in this cleverly comedic show.

In this ingenious production, a detective guides the action as the extraordinarily talented company perform as an ensemble of brightly coloured characters, but it is ultimately the audience who call the shots. In a unique take on the improv format, the audience selects everything from the event to the murder victim.

Now entering its eleventh year at the Edinburgh Fringe, Murder, She Didn’t Write remains fresh—no two shows are ever the same. From a poisoning at a synchronised swimming gala to being crushed to death at a Love Island recoupling, the slick and experienced cast use quick-witted humour to turn nonsensical storylines into a hilarious and unique show every performance.

       

Degrees of Error director and cast member Lizzy Skrzypiec comments, “My dad was actually in the police force for many years and, would you believe, that he does not consider what I do to be ‘real’ work. Ridiculous! He hasn’t even performed in Grimsby.”

The rotating cast includes director Lizzy Skrzypiec (Questions Producer, The Wheel and Bridge of Lies, BBC; Reservoir Mogs, The Wardrobe Theatre), Rachael Procter-Lane (Closer Each Day: The Improvised Soap Opera, The Wardrobe Theatre; Murder at the Circus, Bristol Old Vic), Caitlin Campbell (Rocky Shock Horror, UK Tour; Drac & Jill, UK Tour), Peter Baker (Only Fools and Horses, West End; Snow White, UK Tour), Stephen Clements (Tales of Adventure, Bristol Improv Theatre; Shadows Over Improv, Bristol Improv Theatre), Douglas Walker (Of Christmas Past, UK Tour; The Visit, The National Theatre), and Sylvia Bishop (This is Your Musical, Bristol Improv Theatre; Impromptu Shakespeare, Bristol Improv Theatre).
