DONE TO DEATH - Starlight Community Theater - April 29-May 7, 2022


Adult Comedy
Auditions: TBA

Done to Death is a zany thriller that focuses on five world-weary, past-their-prime authors who are brought to an old mansion on Vulture's Vault – a mysterious island in the Caribbean – to collaborate on and write a new murder mystery TV series. Each writer encompasses their own type of writing style. They include a couple who write sophisticated murders, a young author of the James Bond school, a retired writer of the hard hitting method, and an aging queen of the logical murder. But what they all have in common is their habit of conjuring cliché stories that have been "done to death." When real murders start to happen, accusations and hilarity ensue. The entire play is a comic parody of the murder mystery genre; each writer uses their own style in trying to solve the murders…even as they drop in number. As the bodies pile up, will the murderer be found out before it's too late?
