February 28th 7:00pm March 1 1:00pm

As night falls and fog descends on the Tomb family home, Monument House Hotel and Alternative Health Spa, Hecuba Tomb and her niece Drusilla receive a series of unexpected visitors. Novelist Philippa and her assistant Daphne are seeking refuge from a mysterious follower they fear may be the notorious �Norfolk Strangler�. Hot on their heels come TV historian Quentin Danesworth and vacuous honeymooners Robert and Miranda. The uninvited guests are soon snooping around the secret passages of the creepy old mansion and asking too many questions for comfort. Sure enough, one by one they fall victim to violent deaths by devious techniques � no secret panel is unoccupied, no cup of tea untouched, and nobody is who they appear to be. Will anyone survive the night?

Drusilla Tomb (teens to 20s)
Modern girl with attitude. Keen on the family contract murder business.
Hecuba Tomb (50s to 60s)
Oldest surviving member of the family,
but only by marriage. Dowdy and a
little scatterbrained.
Sir Beverly Comstock (50s to 60s)
Aggressive businessman. Hasn�t smiled since his last takeover. Asthmatic. May be cast as Dame Beverly.
Phillipa Collins (30s to 60s)
Successful mystery novelist. Bright, self-assured. Probably the smartest person
in the room.
Daphne Summers (40s to 60s)
Companion to Phillipa. Worn down by life. Scared of her own shadow.
Anthony Strickland (20s to 30s)
Sir Beverly�s nerdy, bumbling assistant.
Not who he seems to be.
Quentin Danesworth (40s to 60s)
Television host. Extremely flamboyant.
His energy sucks air out of any room.
Robert Sandbrooke (30s to 40s)
Classic, good-looking hero with ego to
match. Always scheming but not the
brains of the operation.
Miranda Torrence (30s to 40s but
older than Robert)
Robert�s wife. Television voice-over personality. Everything about her is an act. Hair color from a bottle with a body to
stop traffic.
Cicely Venner (30s to 60s)
Lawyer from what was the Tomb family�s solicitors. Professional, friendly with Hecuba, but hiding secrets.
