The Critics speak!

“You’ll be swept away with Jessica Fletcher feels … it has the BEST HOST.”

Time Out London

“A complete triumph”

The Scotsman

“A cinematic, theatrical and hilarious experience … Before the night I had never seen an episode of Murder, She Wrote before, unlike some dedicated fans who had even dressed up. However, this really was an evening everyone could enjoy.”

Nottingham Post

“It didn’t take long for Benzie to have the audience in stitches and he had the whole crowd in the palm of his hand the entire evening.”

Bristol 24/7

“As soon as I saw it was on at the [Edinburgh] Fringe I elbowed my way through the other BW reviewers, pushed a couple of them over … just so I could get to the front of the queue and see this show again. And it did not disappoint … I’d go again in a heartbeat.”

5 stars *****

British Theatre Guide

”For a funny, campy evening, there is little that could beat Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote’s unique qualities and Benzie’s wit and charm. Personally this reviewer can’t wait to revisit
Cabot Cove. Never mind ‘whodunnit’, more like ‘yougottadoit!”
