Year 11 Drama Play - Murder's in the Heir
About
Our Semester One Year 11 Drama Students Present: Murder's in the Heir by Billy St JohnTurn the game 'Clue' into a play and you have the masterfully entertaining 'Murder’s in the Heir!'
Almost every character in this hilarious mystery has the weapon, opportunity, and motive to commit the unseen murder. Each of the heirs to the tyrannical billionaire Simon Starkweather has the means and the motive to do away with him. Starkweather gathers his family and employees to announce the contents of his will. His lawyer, Lois van Zandt, reveals that he has bequeathed vast fortunes to his befuddled niece Fiona, her playboy son Jordan, his great-niece Paula and his grandson Simon III, as well as to his many servants. Then Lois delivers the bombshell! Within hours this will becomes invalid and the rejected heirs are not pleased.
The lights go out, and Simon is discovered murdered. Simon III is determined to find his grandfather’s killer, with the help of detective Mike Davis.
The play’s unique ending, utilizing secret ballots gathered at intermission from the audience, determines the killer in this Billy St. John maze of murder. It’s up to the audience to decide who actually did it!
Held in the Michael Murray Centre for Performing Arts Drama Theatre, the performance commences at 6:30pm, with our Friends of Performing Arts families providing refreshments in the Worthley Foyer from 6:00pm. The performance will include a 20 minute interval, and will conclude at approximately 9:00pm.
We hope you will support our Westminster students with your attendance.
