The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site will embrace an evening of suspense when the Candlelight Theatre brings three classic thrillers together in one production.
Each play comprising Murder Me Thrice will be performed in a different room of the Harrison residence, a continuation of a tradition stretching back to when Benjamin and Caroline Harrison hosted playing in the home in the late 19th century.
The play will open at 8 p.m. Friday, April 25, with additional performances set for Saturday, April 26; Friday and Saturday, May 2-3; and Friday and Saturday, May 9-10. A Sunday matinee is scheduled for 2 p.m. May 4.
* Agatha Christie’s, play, The Rats, will come alive in the back parlor. A couple is invited to an exclusive cocktail party in a downtown apartment. When they arrive, they find that something is amiss, and their host has a most sinister plan.
* The master bedroom sets the stage for Lucille Fletcher’s classic masterpiece, Sorry, Wrong Number. This is the story of a neurotic invalid whose only connection with the outside world is her phone. On this particular night, the wires cross, and what she hears is terrifying.
* Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventure of the Tolling Bell will be presented in the ballroom in the style of the radio play that aired in 1947. A quiet town is being plagued by suspicious deaths, and only Sherlock Holmes can solve the insidious riddle.
