Murder, She Didn't Write — Review
An improvised murder mystery comedy at the Duchess Theatre that showcases inventive, real-time storytelling — chaotic, funny and entirely unpredictable.
Murder, She Didn't Write, an improvised murder mystery comedy that made waves at the Edinburgh Fringe, continues to showcase inventive, real-time storytelling in the West End at the Duchess Theatre. The premise is brilliantly simple: the audience provides key details — a murder method, a suspect, a setting — and the cast improvises an entire murder mystery on the spot.
What results is chaotic, frequently very funny, and occasionally sublime. The cast's ability to build coherent plot logic from nothing is genuinely impressive, and the show rewards an audience willing to shout out increasingly absurd suggestions.
An unpredictable, irreverent night at the theatre. No two shows are ever the same.
