Murder, She Didn’t Write Returns to West End

The improvised whodunnit and many-year Edinburgh Fringe favourite, Murder, She Didn’t Write,is returning to The Duchess Theatre in London’s West End with three new dates in 2025. This cleverly comedic show will see improv legends Degrees of Error perform an entirely improvised murder mystery each night. These new dates follow a sell-out West End debut earlier this year, as part of their smash hit UK tour.

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 selected by an audience member, in a fresh take on the improv format. From a poisoning at a synchronised swimming gala, to being crushed to death during a Love Island recoupling, this incredible quick-witted cast use humour to turn nonsensical story lines into a hilarious and unique show every time.

The rotating cast includes director Lizzy Skrzypiec (Questions Producer, The Wheeland 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 CircusBristol Old Vic), Caitlin Campbell (Wardrobe Theatre’s 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).

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: It’s been a joy performing our show on the West End. And we have been blown away by the audiences we have had. The shows we have done have been a blast, so far sharing a theatre with The Play That Goes Wrong has gone so right.
