Event Description

Hit Off-Broadway ensemble The Aristocrats has gathered in the Catskills to workshop a new adaptation of Uncle Vanya (yes, another new adaptation of Uncle Vanya), directed by their charismatic and toxic artistic director, Don Templeton. But just after the troupe is snowed in, a sudden death occurs… and old (and new) grudges are revealed. Now, the ensemble must figure out which of them is a killer before they strike again. From Kate Hamill, comes a farcical new murder mystery and dark comedy that is a celebration and exploration of what’s best (and worst) in both contemporary theatre culture and human nature.
