Murder in the House of Poe - an interactive comedy murder mystery

• Wednesday, October 29 through Friday, October 31
• Sussex Central High School, Georgetown, DE
• 302-258-5443

The Take Two Drama Club of Sussex Central High School presents this original, interactive comic murder mystery in which many of Poe’s most famous characters gather for a grand masquerade ball thrown by the infamous (and annoying) Prince Prospero. But when Prospero himself meets a grisly, poetic end, the audience – helped by Poe himself – must uncover which among the celebrated characters has committed the crime. Throughout, the audience is guided by clues, mis-directions, and improvised conversations with the strange and mad characters of Poe’s dark world. 

The audience member who guesses who committed the murder, how, and why (most completely) is eligible to win a fantastic prize, with runners up also getting some fun gifts. The show is for teen and adult audiences only, as it features some simulated gore and pretend violence. All proceeds from the show are directly used to further the non-profit mission of Take Two to promote theater education and production in Sussex County. Take Two is truly excited to present this deliciously spooky, one of a kind show just in time for Halloween!
