Description
Amongst the spires, spikes and sideburns of a 1970s university, a lonely Professor awaits a call. When he's chased by the ringing of every passing phone, an ominous voice sets a series of mysterious puzzles that stand between him and his missing daughter. Dodgy deans, grumbling groundskeepers and swotty students are suspects as the Professor capers across campus to uncover whodunnit and why. Set to the sounds of 70s vinyl, multi-award winners Spies Like Us bring their explosively physical comedy-thriller about connection, forgiveness... and cryptic crosswords. 'Singin' in the Rain meets Hitchcock' **** (TheReviewsHub.com).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

This was a great fun who-dunnit, smart, witty and highly energetic. Really well acted and put together.

The cast were energetic and seemed to be having a good time. Sadly we could not match their enthusiasm. I’m sure others will enjoy this show but it wasn’t for us.

Great, energetic acting, but the plot left us cold. 2.5*

Hats off to a hard working cast for their efforts. As someone who likes completing cryptic crosswords, I found it far too difficult to follow, I confess to being completely baffled most of the time during the show. Sorry.
P.S. The front row seats are the most uncomfortable I have ever sat on.
