The first Grace and Doris Mystery Comedy is perfect for Halloween, or any other spot in your season. This delightful comedy features a cast of zany characters, a near-sighted, knife-throwing poltergeist, a Ouija board of doubtful veracity, thunder and lightning, screams in the dark and a satisfying body count.

Murder Inn is set in New England, at the Barnsley Inn, a dilapidated eighteenth century inn, which is supposedly haunted by Marco, a knife-throwing poltergeist. A group of tourists, on a tour-Ghosts and Ghouls of New England-is forced, by a storm, to make an unscheduled stop at the Barnsley. What looks to be an unpleasant and uncomfortable detour soon turns into a night of mayhem and madness as knives begin to pop up& in the most unexpected places. As the storm builds and the body count rises, the survivors try to figure out who done it. And even more important- who s likely to have it done to them next?
Murder Inn& features wonderful dialogue, a colorful, kooky cast of characters and a good dose of humor. Plus, it appears that everyone involved is having a grand time, judging from last weekend s opening performance...Murder Inn was written specifically for community theater, and this production s mix of talent-experienced actors and several first-time performers-works well...Two of the characters who delighted the audience most were Grace and Doris, the gray-haired, energetic senior citizen duo of the tour. Believers in the when I grow old, I can say just about anything I want school of behavior, they do just that. Whether bickering back and forth, or coming back with a purse full of knives after scouring the manor, their astute and quirky observations of every situation could give Seinfeld a run for his money.
