ABOUT THE SHOW: What happens when a lovely young heiress, her two handsome suitors, some wealthy socialites, spooky servants and two competitive super sleuths gather in an isolated mansion to hear the reading of a will? The answer is laughter in the hilarious play, Any Number Can Die, by Fred Carmichael.
A skillful take-off on the mystery plays of the late twenties, Any Number Can Die is complete with sliding panels, wills being read at midnight and unexpected guests. The ever-popular storm, the the cryptic poem and the missing fortune all add up to the intricate and inventive mystery off which the laughs bounce.
Summer Stock reviews said "No play by Fred Carmichael is ever what it appears for longer than 30 seconds or until the laugh starts to die on the last joke. No joke lasts long enough to mask the next bit of comic business, the next surprise, the next gasp and the next and the next... Carmichael has a genius for raising the ridiculous to the level of genuine comedy... worth your money for laughs... worth your time as a fabulous display of tricks... guaranteed completely screwball evening." (Bennington, VT) "Neat and crisp with sparkling dialogue... genuine wit... one sensed the excitement of a truly fine play." (Manchester, VT)
