Title: Murder in Company
Presented By: Reservoir Frogs Theatre Company
Genre: Mystery Thriller
Synopsis: A dramatic society assembles on the stage of a church hall to rehearse a mystery thriller under its somewhat dictatorial director Philip Stephens. Tensions within the company mirror the suspense of the play they are rehearsing. Philip's wife is too friendly with one of the actors, a prowler is in the neighbourhood and attacks one of the girls, an unpleasant caretaker attempts blackmail, and one of the cast members seems to have a mysterious past. The rehearsal is plagued by difficulties until the mysterious death of one of the group brings the fictional whodunit into real life. It turns out that almost everyone could have committed the murder.
