Murder for Two

Details

Why is it called Murder for Two? Because two actors play every role. One investigates the crime, while the other portrays all ten suspects.

On a dark and stormy night at an isolated mansion in rural New England, Dahlia Witney, the wife of a celebrated crime novelist, throws her husband a surprise birthday party. But the festivities take a deadly turn when he opens the door and is promptly shot. Surprise!

With the nearest detective an hour away, ambitious police officer Marcus Moscowicz seizes the opportunity to crack the case. He interrogates each eccentric suspect in hopes of uncovering whodunit. Was it the local psychiatrist who cannot keep a secret, especially when it involves one of his patients? The prima ballerina with a talent for dancing around the truth? Or Mrs. Witney herself, who seems suspiciously cheerful for someone who just witnessed her husband’s murder?

To discover which suspect held the smoking gun, audiences will have to wait until the final curtain.

Hormel Theatre. Tickets start at $60.
