A comedy about a community theatre group struggling to produce a murder mystery. "Murder Most Foul", despite a haughty playwright constantly changing the script.

The story follows the director, Gerry, who tries to stage a locally written murder mystery to save money, only to find out that the script is a disaster. The playwright, Phyllis Montague, continually rewrites scenes and the cast is getting increasingly frustrated. Set problems, deleted sound effects, missed cues, and last-minute script changes, lead to a chaotic, final performance.

In this hilarious comedic romp, four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their senior prom: to be in each other's weddings – no matter what. More than 30 years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making “the long walk” for each other, determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth, the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage, believes – in spite of all evidence to the contrary – that her friends can find the very same happiness. Headstrong Deedra's “rock-solid” union hangs by a thread when she discovers her husband of many years not only has a wandering eye, but the hands to match. Monette, flashy, high-spirited and self-involved, continues to test her friends’ love and patience with all-too-frequent trips down the aisle. And salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie discovers the hard way that marital bliss is not the end of her rainbow – and panics in outrageous style when the opportunity presents itself.

Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: There’s her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will Catherine inherit? In the Pulitzer and Tony-winning Proof, David Auburn has fashioned an exhilarating and assured play – a subtle and gripping exploration of loss, guilt, discovery, instability and the elusive nature of truth.
