Marriage is Murder

Ex-spouses Paul and Polly Butler write murder mysteries together. They act out the crimes

in Paul’s apartment: poisoned chocolates and lethal martinis, alibis and fi ngerprints, bodies

in a trunk and bodies all tied up, daggers, guns and even an axe all contribute to the

hilarity. Nobody gets hurt, but their egos take some hits as they fi nd that their marriage was

mixed up with their work. There are many fast paced comic twists as they attempt to outdo

and surprise each other and they learn that marriage, like murder, is in the details. The fi -

nal witty complication is a real murder which they and the audience should have seen coming.

This murderously funny two-character comedy is by the author of Accommodations.
