Time Out LondonA complete triumph
The ScotsmanA 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 PostIt 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 24/7As 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.
Broadway World ★★★★★The self-confessed super-fan and award-winning playwright will lead you into a silly whirlwind of nostalgic giggle, using his wealth of camp trivia and sound logic to solve these killings.
One4Review ★★★★★Benzie knows how to put on a great show ... I would happily see it again, with all the fervour of the ‘Jessica Fletcher eating popcorn’ meme.
