About the play from Cloud County Theatre

Shocking events keep interrupting the dress rehearsal for a British murder mystery, and mayhem ensues as the line between fiction and reality becomes increasingly blurred. The players at The Murder Mystery Playhouse are rehearsing a new show, Putting a Little English on It.  At the final dress rehearsal, the lights go out and a character dies onstage – only this murder wasn’t in the script! Will the show go on? Or will it be the final curtain call for the whole cast?
