Denouement: An Improvised Mystery

Denouement: An Improvised Mystery is an improvised theatre show built around a whodunnit. The performers create the characters, the crime and the clues on stage, and the solution is not decided in advance. The title refers to the final unravelling of the plot, which is reached differently in each performance.

The production relies on spontaneous storytelling, so the investigation unfolds in real time and its direction is shaped by the choices made during the performance. It suits anyone drawn to detective fiction and to improvised theatre, where the narrative follows what happens on stage rather than a fixed script.

The show is presented at Bristol Beacon, a concert and performance venue on Trenchard Street in Bristol, which hosts a range of live performances throughout the year.
