Deadline - A Hilarious Murder-Mystery Play

A fast-paced, modern-day murder mystery play (90 min) set in a fog-shrouded island mansion, where eight eccentric mystery writers gather for what they believe is the “Deadline Challenge” — a 24-hour sprint to write as much of their next novel as possible. But the challenge quickly takes a sinister turn: instead of writing a mystery, they’re suddenly living one. A murder is about to occur, the victim and killer are unknown, and the stakes couldn’t be higher — the writer who can plot and commit the perfect murder without getting caught will win a million dollars. As tension rises, alliances shift, and hilariously over-the-top personalities clash, the group races to outwit one another in a game where every trope becomes a threat. Deadline mixes suspense, satire, and sharp-witted humor as the writers discover that solving — or surviving — the story might be the biggest twist of all.
