Murder At The Prop Table

As the saying goes ‘All the World’s a Stage’.. and it couldn’t be more true of a group of actors living life as though it were part of a play...oh wait, it is...is that in the script? Stars of stage and screen, Alex and Lynn are unhappily married; Alex is pursuing Jane, the props person, but Jane is Herbert’s girlfriend and Herbert wrote the play that Alex and Lynn are starring in with hopes of making a triumphant comeback to the stage. Meanwhile in Herbert’s play, Reginald (Alex) has inherited his father Charles’ estate – much to his step-mother Penny (Lynn)’s annoyance. Mr. Canfield (Herbert) the insurance assessor expresses surprise at the way Charles died. The plot thickens when Hal-the-gardener tells Penny that some rat poison is missing...Meanwhile backstage jealousies and misunderstandings lead to mayhem and muddle which the poor Stage Manager tries his best to control. Add in a dash of love, a sprinkle of loathing, a splash of suspicion and one dead body and you have a recipe for disaster.
