If you think creating plots, scenes, and dialogue while sitting at a computer keyboard is a challenge, how do you do it based on someone else’s idea and instantly in front of a live audience?

Sit back and find out.

Hey there, and welcome to another exciting episode of "Tell The Damn Story!"

Today, we're diving into improvisation through a great insider discussion with cast members of "Murder She Didn't Write," an inventive, improvised murder mystery show inspired by Agatha Christie’s 1920s era.

How do these performers craft intricate plots and dynamic characters on the fly? What's the secret to successful collaboration when creating without a net? And how do they ensure each performance is a unique, thrilling experience for the audience?

The interview occurred in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the theater company performed at the annual International Fringe Festival.

While attending the event, Alex Simmons saw them perform and sat down with some of the troupe's talented improv actors: Stephen Clemens, Peter Baker, and Pita Maurice. They were also joined by the company’s tech wizard, Paul Milford.

They'll shed light on the creative process that unfolds live on stage, driven entirely by audience suggestions.
