This funny and smart play is packed full of Edith Weiss’s trademark mystery, humor, and surprises.
When Dashiel Reznor, an arrogant and egocentric murder mystery novelist, arrives at the Bygone Days Artists Retreat, he is ready for some rest, relaxation, and relief... from both his writer’s block and his girlfriend. Upon arrival, however, he discovers his room is occupied by a penniless opera singer named Anna Maria, who refuses to leave.
The other guests are a colorful group of artists: the poet laureate of Wyoming, interpretive dancers, and a woman who thinks she is the last princess of the Romanovs. When Anna Maria appears to have been tossed out of a window, Detective Binnix is convinced of Dash’s guilt. It isn’t long after that Binnix suffers a similar fate as Anna Marie, and Dashiel was the only one upstairs with the detective. How can he prove his innocence when everyone is so quick to leap to conclusions? It’s unreal!
With an unexpected twist, not everything is as it seems in this delightful mystery, and the audience will keep guessing until the very “gotcha” ending!
