Suburban homemaker Jane Jeffry has a new interest -- the
theater! -- even though her involvement only consists of
tasting food that will be fed to the actors. Her friend
Shelley's tired of the caterers she chooses for her
husband's business meetings, and she's decided to test some
new ones at the local theater -- with Jane's help. What an
exciting scene it is, with off-stage feuds, ego trips, and
power struggles adding to the drama as the company busily
rehearses a surefire stinkeroo written by the troupe's
clueless director. Then the plot takes a darker turn when a
particularly rebellious young performer exits stage left --
permanently -- courtesy of a head-bashing killer.
Murder is the cue for Jane's longtime leading man,
Detective
Mel VanDyne, to make his entrance. But Jane and Shelley
have
their own roles to play in this twisted true-life
theatrical
-- as they race to bring down the curtain on the villain of
the piece, before the denouement turns into a real,
corpse-strewn, Shakespearean-style tragedy!
