Murder Too

Synopsis:
Mara Baron, the ascerbic artistic director of a major not-for-profit theater, has been getting death threats. Who wants to kill her? Could it be Eve, her oldest friend and the theater's biggest contributor, who harbors a grudge? Might it be Eve's crime novelist husband Todd, who has some motives of his own? Or is it Luke, the hunky handyman installing her 'panic room', who may not be what he seems? This play is a witty, biting comedy of menace.
