Turn the game Clue into a play and you have the masterfully entertaining Murder’s in the Heir!’ Almost

every character in this hilarious mystery has the weapon, opportunity, and motive to commit the unseen

murder.  And it’s up to your audience to decide who actually did it!  Each of the heirs to the tyrannical

billionaire Simon Starkweather has the means and the motive to do away with him.  Starkweather

gathers his family and employees to announce the contents of his will.  His lawyer, Lois van Zandt,

reveals that he has bequeathed vast fortunes to his befuddled niece Fiona, her playboy son Jordan, his

great-niece Paula (a Southern belle) and his grandson Simon III, as well as to his many servants.  Then

Lois delivers the bombshell!  Within hours this will becomes invalid.  Of course, the rejected heirs are

not pleased, so it’s not surprising when they roam the old mansion carrying such items as an ax, a gun,

and poison.  Predictably, the lights go out, and Simon is discovered murdered.  Simon III is determined

to find his grandfather’s killer, with the help of detective Mike Davis.  Help us find the killer in this Billy

St. John maze of murder!
