Death Of A Doornail a Murder Mystery Comedy Play

Drawing room? Oh really? What kind of things do you draw in here? I never realized you guys were artsy fartsy. I can doodle little bunnies and little birdies.
-Candace Bambay

Setting: A Drawing Room of a large estate

Cast Total: 10 = 5-males* 5-females *some can be played as female

Eccentric Millionaire, Albert Doornale has invited all of his close friends to his estate; including his ex-wife Abigail, his current fiance Candy Bombay, and his childhood friend from the Lower East Side, Salvatore Carbone.

Everyone arrives at the estate greeted by the grumpy Butler and cutlery carrying cook. The only problem is, Albert is not there, no one has seen him. Not his nerdy Nephew or his socially spoiled daughter. None of the guests have any idea why they are there or what happened to their host. That is until blood is found in the sink.

Was Albert killed and carried away? In the nick of time, Inspector Bukowski arrives on the scene. A murder investigation will begin, as soon as a body is found. It may be a long wait.

Note: While the play's setting is stereotypical of a classic "Murder Mystery", the ending does contain a twist or two that is not stereotypical of most murder mysteries. Be advised. A Preview version or book is suggested before obtaining performance rights.

Contains a small section of "improvisation / audience interaction".

"What is particularly endearing about this piece, "Death of a Doornail" by Lee Mueller, is how Mueller uses the audience's familiarity with this classic mystery format to his advantage."
