Description

  • Full Length Play
  • Comedy

  • Cautions: Mild Adult Themes
Convinced that the maid "knows too much" about her family's shady past, Delilah conspires with her younger sister to kill her. A visit from Elmira, the local psychic, warns them that a tragedy (and most certainly a comedy) is about to occur.

Delilah's tea party didn't work as planned, but perhaps a drop or two of the right chemistry in the maid's bedside tea will do the trick. Just when it looks like the deed is done, the Grim Reaper makes a timely appearance and Elmira sense danger! Officer Judy arrives to help resolve this farce, but it's the parrot that solves the crime!

From the comically gifted author of Warts and All.

Characters

  • Casting: 1M, 7F
  • Casting Notes: Plus 1 Parrot.

  • MIRIBELLE COVENTRY - as sweet a forty year old southern lady as you'd ever hope to meet. Although her memory's a trifle far-sighted.
    DELILAH TENTREES - Miribelle's sarcastic and conniving older sister. A bit pompous, she is forever worried about "what people will think."
    LIBBY - maid to the Coventry household, she is a bit too good. Sort of a female Uriah Heep.
    ELMIRA - a very overweight friend of Miribelle's, she passes herself off as a psychic to anyone able to listen.
    FLORENCE - the next door neighbor. She is about the same age as the sisters. However, she has madness about her.
    OFFICER JUDY - a police woman who knows the neighborhood.
    SOCRATES - a parrot.
