Much Ado About Murder  by Pat Cook

Produced by special arrangement with Family Plays of Woodstock, Illinois

Synopsis

Rich but rotten Carlton Larraby enjoyed punctuating the lives of his family with macabre little surprises. His latest joke is a Halloween party when all the guests must come as their favorite Shakespearean character. But this time the joke is on Carlton when he is discovered murdered in his study. Who killed him? And just what are all those clues strewn over his desk? During intermission the audience can find out for themselves as they are invited to inspect the scene of the crime and then question the suspects near the end of the play.
