A Tomb with a View - Spring 1997

This comedy whodunnit features a gathering for the reading of the will of Septimus Tomb, patriarch of a family of oddly-assorted and often homicidal characters. Soon the bodies start piling up!  Set in a sinister old library, presided over by a portrait of a grim faced, mad eyed old man. A dusty lawyer reads a will, involving some millions of pounds, to an equally sinister family. One member has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga like Julius Caesar and a third member is a genteel lady who plants more than seeds in her flower beds. Their crazed scientist older brother and their food obsessed sister plus a divine diva, complete the family. By the third act, there are more corpses than live members left in the cast; and what about the sympathetic nurse and the author of romantic novels and her friend, all of whom have the audience guessing. All is revealed as the plot twists and turns to its surprising conclusion.
