Please prepare a brief monologue. Theatre advises, “The play is set in 1932, so … a monologue that is vaguely period in language [is appropriate], but otherwise contemporary is fine. The play blurs the lines between period/arch dialogue and contemporary language.”
Please bring a picture and resume, stapled together.
New play. It’s 1932, and America’s most brilliant detective is on the verge of apprehending the world’s most brilliant and devious master criminal. Stranded in a dilapidated mansion on a former resort island gone to seed, Detective Dorrington discovers a murder that begins to unravel the very fabric of democracy. But to solve the crime, the guests may have to turn their backs on everything they believe in. Is it worth admitting you’re wrong if it means losing your mind? And if everyone is a suspect, who can you trust?
