Jamerson takes on many of the creaky tropes of murder mysteries and horror movies and rejuvenates them with period-perfect 1950’s-style dialogue, sly wit, and even a dash of Me-Too-era female empowerment. The large cast of characters gives every actor his or her big moment, and the play is also an invitation to inventive directors and designers to let their imaginations soar in creating high or low-tech special effects and shockers. Everyone in the audience, onstage, and behind the scenes will have a rollicking good time with this one.
