A World Premiere!

In this new mystery, it becomes clear that, for Southerners,
the truth isn’t nearly as important as a good story.

WHO DONE IT?
Was it the childhood friend Babe Vaught? Or the best friend Ab Walker? Could it have been the new bride Libby Holman, or the mysterious acting coach Blanche Yurka? Come find out for yourself at the Georgia Ensemble Theatre. Original photography by R. Todd Fleeman. Post production by Stephanie Slusser.
Tobacco heir Smith Reynolds returns from a New York vacation to his North Carolina estate with a surprise souvenir: a wife. The new Mrs. Reynolds is a popular jazz singer, a dozen years older than Smith, and arrives with a certifiably insane acting coach. A wedding party is flat-out ruined when the groom turns up dead. As the guests gather to reconstruct the evening’s events and try to solve the mystery, it becomes clear that for Southerners, the truth isn’t nearly as important as a good story.

Popular Atlanta playwright Topher Payne returns to us on the heels of his widely embraced 2011 GET hit Tokens of Affection with this world premiere.

 

Featuring Scott DePoy, Kate Donatio, Suehyla El-Attar, Jo Howarth, Tess Malis Kincaid, Tony Larkin, and Weston Manders.

January 10-27, 2013
