My attempt at a Brief Summary:Act One. A murder is committed. A play is written about the murder committed. Act Two. A play is written about a murder to be committed. The murder is committed.

Tough to describe but it’s a comical thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat caught between laughter and terror!
