Giving the audience the power to decide how an entire murder mystery will unfold is a bold move, but it is exactly the format Murder, She Didn’t Write takes.
— Theatre Scotland (5 out of 5 stars)
The charismatic cast handles bizarre situations without corpsing to build a wonderfully engaging plot.
— Theatre and Art Reviews (4 out of 5 stars)
With the hilariously quick-witted cast, it was hard not to laugh out loud.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
