Almost every character in this hilarious mystery has the weapon,opportunity and motive to commit the unseen murder. And it’s up
to you, our audience, to decide who actually did it! Each of the heirs to the tyrannical billionaire Simon Starkweather has the means and the motive
to do away with him. Starkweather gathers his family and employeesto announce the contents of his will. His lawyer, Lois van Zandt,
reveals that he has bequeathed vast fortunes to his befuddled niece, Fiona, her playboy son Jordan, his great-niece Paula and his grandson
Simon III, as well as to his many servants. Then Lois delivers a bombshell... Within hours this will becomes invalid! Of course, the rejected heirs are
not pleased, so it’s not surprising when they roam the old mansioncarrying such items as an axe, a gun and knife. Predictably, the lights go out,
and Simon is discovered murdered. Simon III is determined to find his grandfather’s killer, with the help of detective Mike Davis.
The play’s unique ending, utilizing the ballots on your tables and gathered at intermission from you, the audience, determines the killer
in this maze of murder!
