The simple staging, small cast, and short running time of this popular one-act comedy makes it a simple virtual production that can come together with just a few rehearsals. Unlike other virtual shows, A Mystery Murdered is not based on the premise that the characters are separated by location. Your virtual audience will easily suspend their disbelief to watch these six communicate as if they’re all in the same place together, which means they don’t need electronic devices as props!
This play-within-a-play opens with the butler, holding a gun, standing over the body of Steve Walters. The butler, John, assures us that things are not what they seem and that this is not a simple case of “the butler did it.” John introduces us to the other suspects: Steve’s business partner, his ex-fiancée, his current fiancée, and her friend. But that’s when the play falls apart, for the actors are as jealous, petty, and conceited as the characters they play. Your virtual audience will laugh heartedly as they realize they’re not watching a mystery, they’re watching a comedy of bickering, egotistical actors who can’t even stage a mystery without murdering it!
