Murderers Anonymous are a semi-professional theatre company that hail from Brighton, UK. We write, produce and perform original whodunnit comedy plays.
We have written and produced four shows so far.
our goal
We strongly believe that the arts should be accessible to all – for both those that want to create it and those that want to consume it. As a result, we strive to keep our ticket prices as low as we can, we open our auditions to people of all backgrounds and experience levels and we try to tour our shows to venues in smaller towns.
We perform our shows for fun in the hopes that we can spread some joy and laughter.
All profits from our shows are split equally between our cast members.
