Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, when the jurist is killed. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in;line-height:150%'>Production dates are weekends, February 9<sup>th</sup> – 24<sup>th</sup> Rehearsals will begin early January.
