This was one of the worst productions that I have ever seen at this theatre. The venue is always terrific but they really need to evaluate their choice of productions. THIS ONE WAS AWFUL!Written on May 26 2008

More Information About Gift of Murder
Description
The famous actress Stella Cavendish, accompanied by her attractive young niece, is recuperating from a hectic season and a bit too much high living. They are looked after by a cook-housekeeper named Wimpi, and are soon joined by Stella’s producer/would-be suitor and her fellow actress/arch rival. In the surprise appearance of Stella’s former leading man and his dashing young nephew, both the plot and the romantic possibilities quicken. The arrival of the bustling Nurse Pepper begins the progression of chilling and frequently funny events, leading to the unexpected and ingeniously devised denouement—in which the true identity of the villain is shielded until the last possible moment.
