MacMurder! is a world premiere production of an original comedy-murder mystery that captures the look and feel of an old Hollywood movie from the 1930s and 1940s. The script will feature three crime-fighting characters: Harry Hunsacker (an inept but endearing private detective), Nigel Grouse (Harry’s paid-by-the-hour assistant), and Lt. Foster of the real police (a regular guy who is constantly driven crazy by Harry’s hare-brained ideas). They encounter a host of eccentric characters and are soon faced with a “whodunnit”. One of the characters has been bumped off and others are at risk, unless Harry, Nigel, and Lt. Foster can decipher the clues, catch the bad guys (or gals), and see that justice is served.
ABOUT PEGASUS THEATRE
Since 1985 Pegasus Theatre has existed to bring DFW audiences new and original comedies. Our mission is to inspire and cultivate North Texas artists and entertain, enlighten and engage our community. Pegasus is best known for its series of comedy- murder mysteries presented in Living Black & White ®. The technique was developed at Pegasus Theatre which through the use of trade-secret makeup, special lighting, meticulous costuming and set creation, combined with stylized acting creates the illusion that the audience is watching—not just a play—but a 1930’s-40’s black-and-white movie brought to life on stage!
