Design For Murder

The Little Theatre of Alexandria, Washington, DC

About the Show

written by George Batson

directed by Jessie Roberts

produced by Carol Strachan

assistant producer Hilary Adams

Murder, romance AND comedy! The three best ingredients for a fun suspense-filled evening of theatre! This fast-moving, highly tense whodunit treats the audience to a remote mansion, a sleazy blackmailer, a trench coat clad detective and even a dark and stormy night. A once-wealthy mother and son struggle to keep up appearances at the old mansion but when a maid is murdered, everyone becomes a suspect. Tallulah Bankhead toured in the original production.
