A LITTLE MURDER NEVER HURT ANYBODY
by Ron Bernas
Produced by Special Arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
It’s New Year’s Eve at the Perry mansion, and Julia and Matthew Perry seem to have it all. But Matthew wants something more — to be rid of his wife Julia so he can have some real fun! He resolves to murder Julia by the end of the new year, and tells her so. She vows to stay alive, and tells him so. And so the game begins — a hilarious year-long match of wits and the witless in this homage to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1940s by Ron Bernas. Winner of the Community Theatre Association of Michigan New Plays Competition.
