It's A Mystery
Join Tim Benzie, creator and host of, for a new one man show taking you on a funny and engrossing deep dive into the appeal of murder mysteries. The audience are summoned into the drawing room as Tim takes on the role of the detective, examining the clues that drew him as a child, from Scooby Doo and Encyclopedia Brown to German mystery puzzle books via reading the works of Agatha Christie as a teenager. Along the way he draws connections between obsessions with detective films, the TV series Murder, She Wrote and his current shows.
There is a tenacious theory that in times of societal strife, murder mysteries surge in popularity, and Tim unpacks the notion via stories of his own troubled times, to determine not just why there is a detective in all of us, but ultimately what is the mystery that we’re all trying to solve.
Funny, touching and showcasing the delight in pop culture minutiae that has made Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote a cult hit, It’s a Mystery! will appeal to fans of the genre and anyone who’s ever wondered whodunnit (and why).
