Murder's In The Heir!

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.
