Murder with No Mystery: A Murder Mystery
Produced by Radioactive Ladybird Productions
Two party guests. One murdered host. Zero mystery.
A party at a remote cottage, only accessible by boat. A storm. A power outage. A murder! The twist? Only two guests showed up. With the host dead, it should be pretty obvious pretty quickly who the killer is.
Still, for some reason, a full-fledged investigation ensues. Both guests had the means and opportunity to commit murder – but did either of them have a motive?
The Suspects:
Frankie: A dog park enthusiast oddly obsessed with murder mysteries finally has the chance to be part of a real one. Will this dogged investigator solve the case or wind up in the pound?
Sandy: A dental hygienist who is more solitary than socialite has her first brush with murder. Will she go back to searching for cavities or is her next stop a cavity search – in jail?
As the storm rages on with no way out until morning, the race to solve the mystery (although, once again, there kind of is no mystery…) begins!
From the team behind Toronto’s 2017 production of Matt & Ben, this ridiculous new murder mystery comedy promises a high-energy concoction of laughs, tropes and, of course, brutal murder. Don’t miss the world premiere of this delightfully deranged play.
“These talented women are just blasting through this show. I felt like I was being taken on a ride in a high octane rocket ship to the stars powered by Lakhani and Salvas’ hutzpah alone. They are simply non-stop.” – Mooney on Theatre on Matt & Ben

“Some of my all-time favourite moments have been when something hilariously awkward happens in public and I catch the eyes of a stranger and for a second we know exactly what each other is thinking. And then we go about our lives. It’s a beautiful intimacy.” For actor, director, and writer Gregory Prest, even a...
