An Improvised British Drama in a Real-Life Castle
About this Event

Step inside the world of aristocrats, servants, secrets, and social scandal as Craigdarroch Castle becomes the setting for a fully improvised period drama inspired by Downton Abbey. When tradition clashes with change, our household on the brink must navigate love, loyalty, ambition, and class– with no script!

This performance takes place throughout Craigdarroch Castle with scenes unfolding in different rooms of the historic home. The audience will move from space to space during the approximately one-hour performance, following the lives of both “upstairs” and “downstairs” as their stories collide.

Paper Street Theatre:

Under the direction of improviser and storyteller Dave Morris, Paper Street Theatre creates improvisation that feels like theatre. By studying great playwrights and iconic theatrical styles, then performing them without a script, our ensemble challenges what audiences expect improv to be—richly detailed, character-driven, and emotionally grounded.

Please note this experience involves navigating 87 stairs, with no ramps or elevators. Event tickets do not include a tour of the Castle.
