Theatre West presents “The Murder Room”, by Jack Sharkey.  The comedy runs from October 15 through November 7th, 2009 every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening.  The doors open at 7:30 P.M.  and the curtain rises promptly at 8:00 P.M. 

 

"The Murder Room" has been described as Agatha Christie meets Abbot and Costello, with a little Monty Python thrown in.  The play begins with a murder but no body, and each member of the peculiar household---some suspiciously intense, some suspiciously dim---works to figure out the mystery.  Throughout, the whole cast contributes to the outrageous events.  Disguises, mixed-up identities, bumbling policemen and overdone characterizations are all part and parcel of a good farce, and "'The Murder Room" has them all.  There's never a dull moment in this quirky spoof of British mysteries.
