width=240 align=left vspace=5 border=0> Set in the Riddle Keys Estates, a
Florida retirement community, <I>Murderers</I> is a dark comedy that
explores three individuals' stories and perspectives on the crime(s),
specifically murder, they have committed. As one character says in the
play, "Killing can be habit-forming because once you do it, it just gets
easier and easier - like bicycle riding or sex."

width=240 align=right vspace=5 border=0> <I>Murderers</I> features Randy
McConnaugh as Gerald Halverson in "The Man who Married His Mother-in-Law",
because she's dying and it makes a $5 million inheritance easier. Scene
two is "Margaret Faydle Comes to Town" with Pat Brady as jealous Lucy
Stickler, long-suffering wife with a plan to rid the world of her
two-timing husband and his one time flame.
<P>And everyone gets a comeuppance in the final scene, "Match Wits with
Minka Lupino." Jean T. Carney (who is a public defender in real life)
plays Minka, friendly receptionist of the Riddle Key "seasoned citizens"
facility. Her mission is to rid Riddle Key of those who prey upon helpless
senior citizens until a famous mystery writer retires and she meets her
match. </P>
