Done to Death by Fred Carmichael
Mystery Comedy / 8 m., 8 f. / Int. Once famous mystery writers involve the audience as they apply their individual methods to solving various murders. They include a couple who write sophisticated murders, a young author of the James Bond school, a retired writer of the hard hitting method and an aging queen of the logical murder. Ingeniously packed into the script is a parody of every mystery plot, hero, and villain created in the past fifty years. The story alternates between reality and imagination as five mystery writers wrestle with the problem of writing a television mystery series. All around them murders occur. Glens Falls Post Star. Carmichael plays a skillful and fast paced game of guess again with the audience...Clever and rewarding. Bennington Banner. FEE: $75 per performance.
