About the show
It Happened on a Tuesday is a new comedy play by CTRL-ALT Productions, performed at Studio during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Six employees share an ordinary Tuesday in the office — until one of them is found to have stolen £60,000. To uncover the culprit, the boss asks each employee to walk through their day, leading to absurd recreations and ridiculous revelations. Structured in the style of Rashomon, the show merges the workplace sitcom with a whodunnit mystery, running for 45 minutes.
Why see this show?
A whodunnit set in a mundane office, told from six conflicting points of view — it's a clever, funny take on how everyone believes their own version of events. Great for fans of workplace comedy and mystery in equal measure.
