A sparkling fictionalized re-enactment of true events surrounding the Doheny family and the history of the Greystone Mansion, The Manor chronicles the triumphs and travails of the prominent MacAlister family during the 1920s, as they ride the tide of good fortune. Spurred by legends of ghostly wanderings, costumed performers inhabit the mansion’s opulent rooms and roam its cavernous, echoing hallways to weave a tale that begins euphorically with the promise of a splendid future until involvement in a political scandal sparks a downward spiral that ends in a senseless tragedy. Audiences follow actors through several decorated rooms of Greystone’s first floor, as murder, madness and a scheme gone horribly awry are revealed.
Desserts and refreshments are served. Comfortable shoes recommended.
