2017.10.12. Murder can be such a drag ...

10/12, Thursday. The title of this play is so long, that I used the tagline here. The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guid Dramatic Society's Production of Murder at Checkmate Manor produced at Bag N' Baggage. It's a farce, which reminds me of Noises Off, but not as good, feels much more contrived. This is a play about a group of ladies putting on a play called "Murder at Checkmate Manor", with missing staircase (well done), broken chair, missed cues (many times), wrong order of things. The interesting part is that all the ladies are played by men, and the inspector (only male character) is played by a woman. The French maid (as well as the main narrator and a few other characters) and the daughter look very good in drag. Well acted, as always. Enjoyable.
