ORDER THIS TITLE
This deliciously clever comedy mystery is written specifically for a dinner theatre setting, though it can also be presented traditionally. The action takes place around the head table of a banquet room where guests — and of course your audience members — are expecting a dinner theatre show. But when the guest of honor, Eleanor Van Heusen, falls face first into her plate of spaghetti, the guests are suddenly witnesses to a murder! Luckily, Inspector Bungles is there to help solve this whodunit. To say the least, Eleanor wasn’t loved by all. In fact, all her family members and even the chef have reasons to kill her. Hilarity ensues as they each reveal their own murder plans, yet all claim innocence. With plenty of room for audience interaction, Dinner at Eight, Dead by Nine will help you cook up the perfect fundraiser or evening of entertainment
