Brian J. Burton
Write Me A Murder
by Frederick Knott
Synopsis
The play tells the story of the brothers Clive and David Rodingham, who inherit the family fortune upon the death of their father.
They then meet business man Charles and his wife Julie, a would-be thriller writer.
Charles is anxious to work with the brothers on property deals, and so encourages David, who is also a writer, to co-author a murder story with Julie.
It isn’t long before the two concoct the perfect crime, which is soon twisted into a reality…
Press Reviews
"A long-run success in both New York and London, this study in suspense sets forth a “perfect crime” with such diabolical cleverness that audiences will be kept guessing until the final curtain. “…as neat a tying-up of clues, hints, deeds and misdeeds as the probing mystery fan could ask."
— NY World-Telegram & Sun
"…builds steadily, amusingly and suspensefully and reaches a swift and convincing climax."
— NY Times
