The Garden Path to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos

10 MINUTES - The friendly HOA president is looking forward to spring and Game Day! But his neighbor, an unrepentant master gardener, needs just a few minutes of his time to help her with some simple tasks in the garden. In a matter of minutes, the president finds himself on the other side of the law when the yard chores turn hilariously criminal.

Wow! Hazel is definitely a do-it-yourself kind of gal! Whether it’s gardening or… other things you normally would call a professional in for! I don’t want to give too much away, so just go ahead and dig in!

I adore this short play. Plenty of humor, witty dialogue and physical comedy for actors to play with. Beyond that it dances along the macabre of true crime that I love to peer over. Gotta go turn the compost bin now after this delightful read.
