Murder at Minsing Manor: A Nancy Boys Mystery

by Michael Simon and Richard Simon

Full-length play, Comedy/Mystery/Thriller 8 males, 2 females

The only play by outside playwrights ever to be produced by the legendary Ridiculous Theatrical Company, Murder at Minsing Manor brims with irreverent wit.

TV horror-show host Marius Minsing is killed on the air, much to the dismay of would-be detectives Buddy and Bob (adolescent boys played by women) who are his biggest fans.

Minsing's cross dressing lover, finds herself the head of Minsing Manor, a Gothic mansion in postwar suburbia.

While the murderer stalks, she struggles to support the household without implicating herself, to protect Minsing's live-in protégé (a half man/half woman sideshow veteran) and to keep at bay the forces of authority: church, state, and the mob.

Bob and Buddy's sleuthing unintentionally brings this mystery to its shattering conclusion.
