Review (Creative Futures) All Smoke, No Script
All Smoke, No Script is a long-form improv noir comedy piece of theatre, presented, starring, and co-created by Ben Spalding and Andrew Oxford. They are a great team, bringing their complementary skills in improvised/devised theatre, sound design, and composition to the work. And a great idea to draw in the support of fellow creatives, Remi Thiesfield (stage manager) and Riley Montesin (lighting designer and programmer).

Read MoreReview by Catherine Lawrence of Murder on the ‘Not-So’ Orient Express, presented by Mystify
Mystify’s ‘Murder on the ‘Not-So Orient Express’ promised to be an entertaining 80 minutes of mayhem, mystery, intrigue and entertainment—and certainly had all the hallmarks of popular interactive murder mysteries. A 1930s journey on a train, a body, a cast of apparent strangers (but are they?), and a mystery or two to be solved. But this particular mystery had a few too many twists, turns and revelations for a show that ran for 80+ minutes.
