The Princess Theatre in Torquay, Devon, will host a special improvised comedy show called Murder, She Didn’t Write on 27 March 2026. This performance is being presented as part of a series of events leading up to the town’s Agatha Christie-themed celebrations.
The show is produced by Bristol-based troupe Degrees of Error, who are Edinburgh Fringe favourites, and returns to Torquay after previous sell-out runs. Unlike a traditional play, the actors improvise the mystery on the spot, with the audience providing the setting, the victim and the culprit.
Organisers have designated the evening as a ‘Festival Night’ to help build excitement for the International Agatha Christie Festival’s Spring Gathering in April (the Spring Gathering takes place on 11–12 April 2026). The staging offers residents and visitors an early-season chance to enjoy Torquay’s literary connections to Agatha Christie ahead of the main festival events later in the year.
Tickets for the show are available via the Princess Theatre box office and ATG Tickets, priced from £27.50 (subject to a £3.95 transaction fee). The performance starts at 7:30pm and is presented as a comedic, improvised take on the classic whodunnit, featuring audience participation.
