SOUTHERN FRIED MURDER

By Billy St. John / Way down south in Dixie, there's something rotten in the cotton! Wealthy family matriarch Magnolia Capote has summoned her kith and kin to dinner in a fancy restaurant to discuss her will. But when Mrs. Capote is killed with her walking stick, mayhem ensues and her possible heirs become involved in a treasure hunt to interpret the encrypted will! The audience is totally involved in this mystery/comedy with one member actually recruited from the audience to play a small part, (This character gets beat to death with a frozen chicken.) The roles spoof Tennessee Williams' heroines, Bette Davis in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" characters from Tobacco Road, Truman Capote, and other denizens of the Deep South.
