On Halloween, six people have come in secret to play a murder mystery game at a rustic island cottage. Invited by writer Charles Prince, they appear set for a weekend of fun, until ghosts from the past begin to haunt the proceedings, and it becomes clear that all is not as it seems. The game takes on a sinister dimension when guests begin to die, and the remaining players realize that they are playing for their lives. Tension rises. Secret passageways, incriminating letters, hidden compartments, bodies in the window seat, and a 25-year-old unsolved mystery twist and turn toward the unexpected and terrifying conclusion.
A Party to Murder was first produced at Kawartha Summer Theatre in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada in August 1996. It was subsequently produced at the Ensemble Theatre in Cincinnati in September 1996.
