Written by Joe DiPietro, the author of “Over the River and Through the Woods,” “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” and Tony Award-winning “Memphis,” this play won the 2000 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Play. “Hilarious, suspenseful, surprising and dazzling in every way,” one critic said. DiPietro’s blend of comedy with his acute appreciation of the mystery genre will keep you guessing and laughing at every turn.
