Se Ha Escrito un Crimen

Mystery comedy with original music in which seven characters, each with a secret, become embroiled in a murder at an isolated mansion on an island. The audience decides who the culprit is.

This production sets the action in an ultra-modern mansion built on a remote island, where seven characters arrive, each carrying a secret they do not want to confess. A luxury weekend soon turns into a riotous tangle of betrayals and unexpected deaths. The play works as a satire on the contemporary obsession with fame and social media, and does so through wildly anarchic humour.

The scenes alternate with musical numbers of original composition, with music by Naim Thomas and Pedro Chalkho. What sets the show apart is its interactive nature: the audience takes part as accomplices and decides who the killer is, so the culprit changes from one performance to another.

Given its participatory format, the staging is aimed at anyone who wants to follow the plot as a live murder-mystery game. Espacio Alma, in Madrid, hosts this comedy.
