An Old Fashioned Family Murder
On a dark and stormy night, a once-grand estate becomes the stage for a chilling crime in this razor-sharp comic mystery. When a pompous writer spills a family secret—tensions turn to murder and every guest is a suspect. A sharp-eyed widow, a smooth-talking fiancé, a jealous daughter—no one is who they seem, and everyone has something to hide. Secrets unravel, betrayals come to light, and Mrs. Peck’s motherly instincts might just outmatch the detective’s.

Press Quotes
“Imagine a very funny stage comedy hidden behind a locked door, puzzler of a 1940s mystery movie… Double Tony-winning playwright Joe DiPietro has cleverly developed a recipe for an uproarious new farce…. A generous portion of Agatha Christie is folded into the mix and heated… I’ve seldom heard stronger audience reaction to a comedy.” - Alan Portner, BroadwayWorld
