New York City
Tom Stoppard’s 1968 comedy sends up Agatha Christie-esque murder mysteries, theater critics, and professional jealousies. Broadway veteran Larry Marshall stars as Birdboot, the theater critic who, with his colleague Moon, gets swept into the maelstrom of the whodunit they have been sent to review. As mists rise around the isolated Muldoon Manor, everyone–including the two critics–becomes a suspect, while dead bodies pile up in plain sight. Will Inspector Hound be able to finger the murderer in their midst?
