"Firehouse Theater Company's riveting and squeal-inducing production at the intimate John Hand Theater in East Denver is most definitely FOR the squeamish."
-The Playwright Priest

"The twists and turns the plot takes are many, and this production should please anyone who loves a good mystery. For red-blooded aficionados of horror shows this production is unmissable."
-David Marlowe

"...girl meets boy, boy drugs girl, boy dismembers body in the bathtub. Who hasn't had a Saturday night like that?"

Murderer

 

July 9 - August 7, 2010

 

An unusual and macabre beginning to this play sets the audience's nerves twitching well before any dialogue confuses their minds! Norman apparently murders his mistress, Millie, and is in the process of disposing of the body when he is interrupted by a Sergeant Stenning. Norman's hobby is to reenact the most bizarre murders of history. Norman's intentions are, however, more realistic and his wife's elaborate hoax of yet another murder to cure him of his addiction not only cements his resolve but almost provides his alibi for her own demise.
