Murder's In The Heir!
By Billy St. John
Synopsis:
Turn the game Clue into a play and you
have the masterfully entertaining
"Murder's
in the Heir!"
Almost every
character in this hilarious mystery has the weapon, opportunity and motive to
commit the unseen murder. And it's up to the audience to decide who
actually did it! Starkweather gathers his family and employees to announce
the contents of his will. His lawyer, Lois Van Zandt, reveals that he has
bequeathed vast fortunes to his befuddled niece Fiona, her playboy son Jordan,
his great-niece Paula (a Southern belle) and his grandson Simon III, as well as
to his many servants. Then Lois delivers the bombshell! Within hours the
will becomes invalid. Of course, the rejected heirs are not pleased, so
it's not surprising when they roam the old mansion carrying such items as an ax,
a gun and poison. Predictably, the lights go out, and Simon is discovered
murdered. Simon III is determined to find his grandfather's killer, with
the help of detective Mike Davis. The play's unique ending, utilizing
secret ballots gathered at intermission from the audience, determines the killer
in this Billy St. John maze of murder.
