Director Sherri Metz will present “Noir Suspicions” by David Landau this April and once again she’s looking for a murderous dose of local talent.
Four men and three women are required for the show The New York Times calls “Embroiling.”
In this hard-boiled comic mystery sequel to the ever-popular Murder at Cafe Noir, ex-private eye Rick Archer is now the confused manager of Cafe Noir on the island of Mustique.
He is confronted with a corpse on the dock, a mysterious femme fatale, a French blackmailer and a businessman who wants both the cafe and the woman.
Rick is arrested after the blackmailer is murdered in his club. It is up to the audience to convince the magistrate of his innocence.
A tribute to Casablanca, with many references to the classic movie, Noir Suspicions is guaranteed to delight audiences whether or not they are familiar with Murder at Cafe Noir.
