Audience to determine whodunnit
A diva of an actor has been murdered and it’s up to the audience, as they enjoy lunch, to uncover who did it!
Murder on McDonnel, a murder mystery luncheon, presented by The Theatre on King (TTOK), takes place Friday, Nov. 17 from noon until 3 p.m. at the McDonnell Street Activity Centre.
The play was written by Simon Turner-Semchuk, directed by Kate Story, and features a cast of Naomi Duvall, Matt Gilbert, Di Latchford, Daniel Smith, Lindsay Unterlander and Hilary Wear.
The plot includes a misunderstood playwright, an egotistical director and an overwrought actor. And who committedthemurder? Allwillberevealed between the lunch courses.
