Death by Design: A Comedy with Songs and Murder
What happens when you mix the brilliant wit of Noel Coward with the intricate plotting of Agatha Christie? Set during a weekend in an English country manor in 1932, Death by Design is a delightful and mysterious mash-up of two of the greatest English writers of all time. Edward Bennett, a playwright, and his wife Sorel Bennett, an actress, flee London and head to Cookham after a disastrous opening night. But various guests arrive unexpectedly a conservative politician, a fiery socialist, a nearsighted ingenue, a zany modern dancer each with a long-held secret. When one of the guests is murdered, it s left to Bridgit, the feisty Irish maid with a macabre interest in homicide, to solve the crime. This musical version of Rob Urbinati's Death by Design is more than homage it s a new classic, with a terrific musical theatre score that kills!
