5 star review – Move over Miss Marple, Murder Village is in town!

A hit at Adelaide Fringe in 2024 and 2025, this improvised whodunnit returns with a thrilling mystery to solve every night — and the crowd is their accomplice! Before the show, the audience is polled for their input: who is the murderer, the victim? What is the weapon, the clue that’s key to solving the case?

From there, the troupe of top-notch improvisers shape the story as they weave in the suggestions — no matter how ridiculous — and create an episode of your favourite cozy British detective show before your very eyes. The scenes are set, the relationships are established and the motives are anything but subtle. Test yourself to see if you can solve the crime before the police inspector and the amateur sleuth do.

If you’re a fan of whodunnits like Rosemary and Thyme, Midsomer Murders or anything Agatha Christie, make sure to book your trip to Murder Village. With a rotating cast of characters and new suggestions every night, no two shows will be the same. Playing at the Courtyard of Curiosities in the State Library of South Australia until 22 March 2026.
