Murder in Play

The Gage Players present Murder in Play by Simon Brett, an amateur production by arrangement with Samuel French Ltd.

The plot follows Boris Smolensky's budget repertory production of Murder at Priorswell Manor, which is looking decidedly shaky, being mostly held together by long-suffering stage manager Pat. The cast, and the director, are more interested in their egos than in the play, and life imitates art when Boris's wife, Renee, is murdered on stage. So whodunnit? This play within a play provides bewildering clues, hilarious gaffes from the inept actors and red herrings galore to keep the audience guessing right till the end.
