Lunchtime Lecture: MURDER INN

January 29th
Wednesday at Noon

Join David Garnes as he discusses LTM’s upcoming production of MURDER INN with members of the cast and creative team.

This play is set in New England, at the Barnsley Inn, a dilapidated eighteenth-century inn, which is supposedly haunted by Marco, a knife-throwing poltergeist. A group of tourists, on a tour -Ghosts and Ghouls of New England-is forced, by a storm, to make an unscheduled stop at the Barnsley. What looks to be an unpleasant and uncomfortable detour soon turns into a night of mayhem and madness as knives begin to pop up… in the most unexpected places. As the storm builds and the body count rises, the survivors try to figure out who done it. And even more important- who’s likely to have it done to them next?

Free and open to the public, Lunchtime Lectures offer an opportunity to learn about LTM’s productions, providing insights into the creative process, background information about the play, its production history, and the playwright, and much more about theatre and the arts. These discussions are an informal lecture style with an opportunity to ask questions after the chat.
