“A delightful surprise…an evening of fun just on the proper side of slapstick.” – Lansing State Journal

Synopsis from stageplays.com

It’s New Year’s Eve at the Perry mansion, and Julia and Matthew Perry seem to have it all.

But Matthew wants something more – to be rid of his wife Julia so he can have some real fun!

He resolves to murder Julia by the new year’s end, and tells her so

She vows to stay alive, and tells him so

And so the game begins – an hilarious year-long match of wits and the witless

But while Julia cleverly dodges Matthew’s devious murder attempts, the Perry friends and staff are dying off mysteriously – it seems Matthew is successful in murdering everyone but Julia!

As the bodies are falling, dim-witted daughter Bunny contemplates calling off her wedding to unwitting Donald since all the intended gift-bearing guests are dying

Enter Detective Plotnik – a Sam Spade reincarnation who suspects everyone, but hasn’t a clue
