The improvised whodunit and many year Edinburgh Fringe favourite, Murder, She Didn’t Write, is heading on a UK tour from 14th March 2025.
This cleverly comedic show will see improv legends Degrees of Error perform an entirely improvised murder mystery each night, across the country.
The tour will include a foray into the West End with a number of exciting performances at the Duchess Theatre, home to The Play That Goes Wrong.
What is Murder, She Didn’t Write about?
In this ingenious show, the audience becomes the author as a classic Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery is written live. With seven sell-out Fringe runs behind them, the extraordinarily talented company perform an ensemble of brightly coloured characters, with the murderer and victim chosen by an audience member, in a Cluedo-esque take on the improv format. 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 story lines into a hilarious and unique show every time.
Running Time 2hrs (including interval)
Age Guidance 12+
Who is in the cast of Murder, She Didn’t Write?
The rotating cast stars Caitlin Campbell, Peter Baker, Stephen Clements, Douglas Walker, Harry Allmark, Rosalind Beeson, Sylvia Bishop, Emily Brady, and Peta Maurice.
Who is in the creative team?
Actor and director Lizzy Skrzypiec (Degrees of Error, London 50 Hour Improvathon; Reservoir Dogs, The Wardrobe Theatre) will direct the production, supported by Rachael Procter-Lane (Closer Each Day: The Improvised Soap Opera, The Wardrobe Theatre; Murder at the Circus Bristol Old Vic; The Half, UK Tour).
Having entertained audiences for over a decade, Degrees of Error were founded in 2010 and are the resident troupe at The Bristol Improv Theatre (BIT) – the first UK theatre dedicated to improv. Seasoned professionals, the cast currently teach and mentor emerging troupes in
Bristol.
Degrees of Error Director and cast member Lizzy Skrzypiec, comments: “This tour is years in the making for us. Overcoming numerous setbacks after COVID has been humbling to say the least and I am delighted we can take our show on tour and bring some of our silly humour to different areas of the country.
We are essentially a group of friends being silly together in the most theatrical of ways. I’m so excited to take our show, forged by our own personalities and chemistry, on tour to spread some mischievous fun around the UK. What people don’t understand is I either solve silly crimes on stage as my profession or I drive my husband mad by being like this at home. My dad was actually in the police force for many years and he still does not consider what I do to be real work. Ridiculous! He hasn’t even performed in Grimsby.”
