Murder Is A Game
by Fred Carmichael
Why we like it
"'Murder Is A Game' transforms a game night into a deadly affair, where every player has something to hide."
From: Mystery and Thriller ScriptsSynopsis
Laughter, suspense, intriguing characters, sparkling dialogue, plot twists, and irresistible mystery are all here.
A successful, married mystery-writing team has dried up, so their publisher gives them an anniversary present - a weekend in an old mansion built for a movie set.
He peoples it with hired characters, unknown to each other, to act out a murder plot.
The couple, Sloan and Toby Bigelow, delight in the game and solve the fake murder, but then there is a real murder with further hilarious plot twists.
The actors all have delightful opportunities to act as imaginary people and then themselves during this sophisticated, laugh-filled mystery evening.
