Theatre--Auditions

IPAL presents Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest directed by Travis Guillory! Auditions will be held Monday, March 28th and Tuesday, March 29th at 5:30 pm.. Performances will be June 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th, 2011.

On a foggy night in South Wales, Michael Starkwedder crashes his car in a ditch and enters the darkened study of Richard Warwick to find Warwick dead and Warwick 's wife, Laura, standing near with a smoking gun. Despite the murder being obvious and overwhelming evidence pointing towards it, Starkwedder does not believe she killed him. The two decide to place the blame on an enemy from the past, Mac Gregor, a man whose son was run over by Richard while he was driving drunk. As the story progresses, the two fake the fact that they were just finding out about the murder and others in the house are introduced. The police suspect everyone in the house, but are especially puzzled by a set of unidentified fingerprints. Are they Mac Gregor’s? Or do they belong to Laura’s lover whom Laura has lied to protect? Murder, jealousy, craftiness, and witty humor add up to equal another one of Agatha Christie’s surprise endings.
