Mystery classic 'Laura' runs through Feb. 9 at Possum Hall
Possum Point Players brings the thriller "Laura" to the Possum Hall stage weekends through Sunday, Feb. 9.
"Laura" is a murder mystery whodunit written in the 1940s, but it could have been written for today’s “CSI.” Laura Hunt started as a daring and ambitious secretary at an advertising agency and worked her way up to become a top executive, but something has happened, and Detective Mark McPherson must reconstruct the life of the alluring Laura, now a murder victim. In the process, he falls in love with the person Laura was. Here is the secret of Laura's death... and her life.
Shows are at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 7 and 8; and 2 p.m., Sundays, Feb. 2 and 9, at Possum Hall, 441 Old Laurel Road, Georgetown. Tickets are $18 for adults, $17 for students and seniors. Call 302-856-4560 or go to www.possumpointplayers.org.
"Laura" is presented by special arrangement of Dramatists Play Service Inc.
Possum Point Players is supported, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
