Death By Design – April 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22
Set during a weekend in an English country manor in 1932, Death by Design is a funny tribute to the classic, witty English murder mystery. A playwright, his wife and numerous unexpected guests arrive at a country house. When one of the guests is murdered, it’s left to Bridgit, the feisty Irish maid with a macabre interest in homicide, to solve the crime.
