An improvised comedy by Degrees of Error in which the audience becomes the author of an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery.
Degrees of Error are bringing Murder, She Didn't Write to the Derby Theatre for a three-night run from Monday 29 March. It's an improvised murder mystery comedy, and the hook is that the audience gets to be the author: the cast builds an Agatha Christie-style whodunnit live on stage from your suggestions, and the room decides who the killer is. Because it's made up on the spot, every show is different, and you're tasked with solving the mystery as it unfolds.
Degrees of Error are Edinburgh Fringe favourites, and they describe the whole thing as a "sleuthing-pleasure experience". The show runs for two hours including an interval, so there's plenty of time for the plot to wind its way out. It's recommended for ages 12 and over, and it does contain strong language and sexual references, so keep that in mind if you're bringing anyone younger.
