Mountain of Crime, A Murder Mystery Comedy

Beschreibung

5m (or 4 with doubling), 3f It's a madcap mobster murder mystery: The retiring head of the National Crime Syndicate has called a meeting of regional crime bosses to announce his replacement. But when he ends up murdered (!) before choosing a successor, it is up to the audience to decide whodunnit. With six different endings, improvisational audience interaction, and a goon with a particularly warm place in his heart for a brick, Mountain of Crime's only real crime is being far funnier than a murder mystery has any right to be. A three-course meal for the actors (and potentially a real meal for the audience), this noir-inspired piece smartly flips those mobster tropes on their heads, while delighting with broad comedy.
