Suggested by Jeshisthename
Hampton Bellamy is dead. In fact, he’s deader than dead, considering he was shot, stabbed, poisoned, clubbed, AND run over by a truck. ’I like things simple,’ says police captain Bogie, but at this point, everyone in Bellamy’s household is now a suspect. Could it be one of his sisters, Dorthella or Darnella? What about his gambling nephew Percy, who takes odds on who’ll be next? Or niece Cherise, who plans her future by the stars? When Bogie says the murderer was stupid, vain nephew Carlton protests by exclaiming, ’I am not!’ While it seems that he walked right into the captain’s trap, the others aren’t off the hook yet, considering there’s now another victim thanks to an exploded landmine. Between an inept ’bomb expert’ who swings her metal detector wildly and a narcoleptic life insurance agent who shares details about Bellamy’s million-dollar policy between naps, there’s no end to the hilarity! Clues pile up as fast as victims in this topsy-turvy comedy where everyone suspects everyone. This fast-paced farce is loaded with comedic characters, amusing scenes, and tons of wonderful stage action.
