Show Descriptions
 

At a secluded English country cottage, a sex-starved wife and her younger lover conspire to murder her stuffy husband.  No wait!  In a dark, empty theatre, a brow-beaten husband plots with his new lover to murder his wife.  Well, which is it?  Should we believe anything we see?

Tony Award winning playwright Rupert Holmes (Curtains, The Mystery of Edwin Drood) spins a web of plot twists, deception and comic thrills that will keep you laughing, gasping and guessing until the final shocking scene!

"Part murder-mystery, part sex farce and completely entertaining!"

*Adult situations, not recommended for children
