Who Dunit?

Highlights
Synopsis
One of the most popular plays of the last few years, this play is the story of Alexander Arlington, world-famous mystery writer.
Alexander is murdered, but when he arrives in Heaven, no one can tell him 'Who dunit.' Michael, the Archangel, agrees to let him relive the last day of his life.
Back on earth, Alexander finds that no one seems to have a motive for killing him.
A second look, though, reveals that each one of the possible suspects has a strong reason for wanting him out of the way.
As Alexander tries to outwit an archangel and prevent his own murder for the second time, the play drives to a sizzling climax.
A neat bit of celestial deduction clears up the question of 'Who dunit' in one of the funniest surprise endings in the annals of stage crime.
