Review (Creative Futures) All Smoke, No Script

Catherine Lawrence is enjoying being back at the Anywhere Festival Paint Factory Hub for the closing weekend of the 2026 Festival. So many nooks and crannies and good shows to see!

All Smoke, No Script is a long-form, improv comedy noir comedy piece of theatre, presented, starring, and co-created by Ben Spalding and Andrew Oxford. ‘In the best tradition of any noir comedy, the team works through several different scenes before finally bringing the criminal to justice—where the quirky back-stories for each of the detectives add to the fun.’ Catherine suggests that ‘if you want to have ‘I saw it at the 2026 Festival’ bragging rights, you need to be quick as these detectives are leaving the factory tomorrow. Just be ready with those suggestions.’ For the full review, turn to Creative Futures Photography perspectives….
