Gerald, Lucy, and Minka are all murderers, residents of the Riddle Key <br>
Retirement Community in Florida. That they committed murder is not in question, <br>
but as for why... In the slightly askew imagination of playwright Jeffrey <br>
Hatcher (Tuesdays with Morrie) wickedness turns up in unlikely guises. As the <br>
body count rises, the homicidal humor disguises an intriguing bit of <br>
subversion: the idea that some people might deserve to be taken out. Hatcher’s keen <br>
sense of the ridiculous thrives among the golf carts, cul de sacs and cocktail <br>
parties in this ultimately charming, and very funny, evening of crime. <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font><br>
Murderers will be directed by Barry Corlew. The script, largely three <br>
monologues played without intermission, calls for strong actors able to memorize a <br>
considerable amount of material and capable of performing solo. The <br>
characters are: <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
<br>
</font>GERALD - mid 30's to early 40's. Looks good in a tux! Marries his <br>
mother-in-law, Spiff (it was her idea). “...because she's dying....and gee...all that <br>
inheritance stuff will be easier! <br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font>LUCY - "adorable" housewife. Actress needs to be able to play 70-75. Oh my, <br>
what to do with Margaret Faydle (trollop with a hat)? More importantly, what <br>
does one do with Lucy's wandering husband? <br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font>MINKA - pleasant woman, 40's. Latino look. Riddle Key's members office <br>
'go to gal'. ..and conscience! ..."oh my....these people have got to go....look <br>
what they did!!" <br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font>Production dates are January 30 - February 1 and February 4-8, 2009. Please <br>
