SYNOPSIS: Whodunit, howdunit. When famous actress Primavera Donna throws a party and winds up dead, it's up to the guests to figure out who and how, and why the hired help is so annoying. Shades of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and Ten Little Indians. As the storm outside rages and the body count mounts, the guests must contend with interruptions, shocking revelations, tacky special effects, and the arrival of a mysterious visitor. Both the action and dialogue are fast-paced and the surprising conclusion leaves only one question: Who gets the movie rights? The cast includes a stuffy butler, a social butterfly, a playboy, a dotty chemist, an aristocrat of dubious origin, a nun who has taken a vow of silence, a part-time detective, a very French maid, and a mysterious stranger. A rapid-fire romp through the conventional drawing room mystery, easy to stage and well suited for ensemble comedy. Ideal for adding other skits or scenes between acts. Interior set.

"We did this play as a Murder Mystery Dessert Theater Fundraiser for our theater. It worked amazingly! The cast had a great time making the characters come to life and the audience had a blast. We got a ton of great compliments from the audience. There is fun banter and comedic lines that keep the audience laughing. If you are looking for a dinner theater or a shorter murder mystery, this one is great."
