Whodunnit, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department Jul 1986

Whodunnit, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1986 Summer Theatre

The detectives may not know who the killer is but the audience knows. An announcer gives them the real facts. Following that, there's the fun of watching the experts—and the amateur—as they struggle to solve the dire murder. Is it the butler? Is it Grandma? It just couldn't be sweet Alice! The wind howls, lights flicker and bloodcurdling screams are heard … some shore done it! It's an amazingly easy production for a large group when fun's the object. https://www.dramaticpublishing.com/browse/one-act-plays/whodunit

Plenty, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1986 Summer Theatre

Hare's inspiration for Plenty came from the fact that 75 per cent of the women engaged in wartime SOE operations divorced in the immediate post-war years; the title is derived from the idea that the post-war era would be a time of "plenty", which proved untrue for most of England.
