Fall Dinner Theatre "The Murder Room"
Thursday, September 04, 2008 - 01:08 AM
"The Murder Room" is billed as a fast-paced British comedy that mixes elements
of farce and a good old-fashioned whodunnit. Playwright Jack Sharkey uses words
and clever repartee like "Noises Off" uses doors. The characters throw
one-liners and confusing questions back and forth with ease and when they are
comfortable with letting the script be funny, the audience receives the
benefit. "The Murder Room" has also been described as Abbot and Costello meets
Agatha Christie, with a little Monty Python thrown in. One of the funniest
aspects of the production, in fact, are the "Who's on First Base"-like bits of
banter that are sprinkled throughout the comedy.
"The Murder Room" tells the story of bland Edgar Hollister, who marries a
golddigger, Mavis Templeton. After a couple hours of painful marriage, Mavis
apparently tries various means to bump off her apparently rich husband. All of
this is just apparently, because blank shells might have been in the pistol -
who knows? - and maybe the cat didn't really die when it drank the poisoned
cocoa - who knows? - and maybe it was all a dream, or amnesia.
Disguises, mixed-up identities, trap doors, changing motivations, bumbling
policemen and overdone characterizations are all part and parcel of a good
farce and "The Murder Room" has them all, and all play a part. After Edgar
Hollister disappears -- was he murdered or did he just "come up missing"? --
the characters begin to play cat and mouse with each other and with the
audience, with a heavy emphasis on the script's wordplay.
