Applause Community Theatre presents Done to Death by Fred Carmichael and directed by Connor Davis.
Once-famous mystery writers employed to write a new hit television show find themselves as the detectives and suspects as they apply their individual methods to solve various murders. They include a couple who write sophisticated murder mysteries, a young author of the James Bond school, a retired writer of hard-hitting thrillers, and an aging queen of the logical whodunit.
The show is a parody of the murder mystery genre with the main characters representing various styles within the genre. Utilizing the tropes of their own fiction, they attempt to solve the murders happening around them before it is too late.
