Synopsis:
The players at The Murder Mystery Playhouse are rehearsing a new show. It’s a not-so-good attempt at a British murder mystery. At the final dress rehearsal, the lights go out and a character dies onstage, only this murder wasn’t in the script! When yet another person dies at the end of the same scene, the cast finds themselves replaying the same scene over and over for police, a theatre critic, and even the playwright himself! The actors are left scratching their heads and worried that they could be next. It all culminates in a wild surprise ending in which the actors must work together to defeat the murderer before he murders them all.
