An Old-Fashioned Family Murder

About This Event

A comedy to die for! A murder. A mystery. A mother. It’s a dark and stormy night at the mansion of elderly Colonel Claythorne, and the pompous murder-mystery author Arthur Whittington is holding court with the Colonel’s family. By the time Detective Paul Peck arrives at the house, there’s been a murder, and everyone is a suspect. With backstabbing, love and some mother-knows-best advice, it soon becomes clear that nothing – and no one – is what it seems. “An uproarious new farce!” – Broadway World “Double Tony-winning playwright Joe DiPietro has cleverly developed a recipe for an uproarious new farce. DiPietro pours every possible Film Noir detective cliché into a mixing bowl… The result is delicious. Voila!… [the play] is a hit.” – Broadway World
