About The Chandeliers
The Chandeliers bring their fully improvised murder mystery comedy to the Ermintrude at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. No one knows who the killer is — not even the cast — because the audience creates the crime. Who, what and how are all yours to decide in this witty, absurd whodunit where every performance is unique. Running for 60 minutes, the show is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, with audience participation expected throughout.
Why see this show?
There is no script, no predetermined killer and no two shows alike — just a quick-thinking cast responding to whatever the audience throws at them, for a comedy that is genuinely different every night.
