| | Death by Design (Farce)
by Rob Urbinati
Directed by: Steve Murdock
Produced by: Dorothy Courtney & Cheryl Tkach
What happens when you mix the brilliant wit of Noël Coward with the intricate plotting of Agatha Christie? Set during a weekend in an English country manor in 1932, Death by Design is a hilarious, delightful, and mysterious mash-up of two of the greatest English writers of all time. A playwright, and his actress wife, flee London and head to Cookham after a disastrous opening night. But various guests arrive unexpectedly – a conservative politician, a fiery socialist, a nearsighted ingénue, a zany modern dancer – each with a long-held secret. When one of the guests is murdered, it’s left to Bridgit, the feisty Irish maid with a macabre interest in homicide, to solve the crime. Filled with intrigue, romance, and clever wordplay, "Death by Design" is a delightful homage to the golden age of mystery with a modern twist. | Purchase Tickets |
