A Mystery by Jerome Chodorov and Norman Panama
DELRAY BEACH — The Delray Beach Playhouse begins its 2012-13 season with an intriguing mystery, “A Talent for Murder,” the story of a popular mystery writer who discovers that someone is plotting to murder her. The show runs October 5 – 21 and tickets are $30, $15 for students.
What if Agatha Christie had become the intended victim in one of her own mysteries? That is the premise of this witty and constantly surprising comedy-mystery about a world famous mystery writer named Anne Royce McClain, played by Charlotte Sherman, who learns that her life is being threatened by someone in her own household.
Could it be her live-in doctor, Dr. Wainwright played by Stan Greenblum, who also used to be her lover? Or could it be Rashi, played by Mark Hetelson, her enigmatic Indian butler? Or one of the young relatives named in what will undoubtedly be a very substantial will?
The cast includes: George Wentzler, Ben Foley, Daryl Meyer and Patricia Garcia.
“A Talent for Murder” opens on October 5 and plays through October 21. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are available at The Delray Beach Playhouse.
