I first became acquainted with this play many years ago while stationed in Europe.
A group of us performed it and it was a great hit! One night the cast sat down and no one could come up with a definitive conclusion as to who the murderer was. There were many good arguments for each possibility . . . but no conclusion.
This is my directorial debut with Marshalltown Community Theatre after many years performing on stage and assisting behind the scenes. I have had a great time seeing this cast bring these characters to life (and we STILL can not decide who shot Richard Warwick!).
This has been a great crew to work with. Some are new to theatre, or new to our theatre, and some are seasoned veterans . . . a great bunch.
I hope you will follow along and try to solve this murder. Enjoy!
Bill Roberts, Director
