The playwright behind Shakespeare in Love and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead turns the classic “whodunit” genre on its head, as this play within a play combines murder mystery with funny parody and satirical meta-theatricality to create an hour of uninterrupted laughter!
In this reimagined version of Sir Tom Stoppard’s classic, pompous drama critics Birdboot and Moon attend the production of a new theatrical thriller. The classic ingredients are there: an isolated country mansion, a dark and stormy night, guests with hidden agendas, a faithful housekeeper, and a mysterious stranger. What will they do with a stubborn corpse that refuses to be found, an overabundance of romantic tension, dangerous games of mahjong, and the immediate threat of murder?
