Murder in 3D
A Comic Mystery by Bill Hand
The spring offering from our travelling troupe.
.
The famous and reclusive Roger and Braxton Boomer, brothers and directors extraordinaire, have invited potential producers, financiers and “talent” to review their plan for a blockbuster 3-D movie. How reclusive are they? They haven’t seen each other in 10 years even though they live in the same mansion. The review is to be done by Braxton in the studio while Roger and their guests watch in 3D from the mansion some miles away… but during the review Braxton is discovered… dead! Who killed him? Every guest is a suspect and it’s up to them and you to figure out who! A great comedy with lots of Hollywood style and references.
