At the isolated Bide A Wee Bed and Breakfast, an eclectic group of guests, including the famous young heiress, Riviera Carlton, gather for some rest and relaxation. When Riviera’s fiancé, Bernard the Mime, turns up dead and his body then disappears, the list of suspects is long — seems like there isn’t a man in the place who’s not vying for Riviera’s affection. The list grows longer as secrets are revealed... Bernard had also asked Bettye, a ridiculous “has-been” actress, to marry him. Tensions heat up to a boiling point with the arrival of Ron “The Ronald” Carlton, Riviera’s father, who spouts “You’re fired!” as if it were “Good day”! And when Inspector Barish shows up with his newly acquired gun, which he has no idea how to use, it’s certifiable mayhem! It takes every bit of logic and deduction for the inspector to solve the mystery of the missing mime. With loads of quirky dialogue, zany stage action, and a “no murder after all” ending, your audience will enjoy themselves so much they’ll want to bide a wee longer!
