ONCE UPON…A CRIMEThe Play
Everything you’ve ever known to expect from a somewhat strange screwball comedy drama.
The character Sam Wilson, attorney attempts to solve a case that goes beyond what he can remember, as the story twists and turns right in front of his eyes. However his eyes aren’t the problem… it’s being an attorney again after a serious accident.
The characters are memorable as you’ll grow to love them in a story that touches lightly on politics and what may or may not be socially acceptable.
The Concept:
The story is based in the great state of Washington in the small town of Ferndale – population 12,000… that’s where it all begins.
In this classic-style courtroom play the audience does not really know "whodunit" until the climax of the story. A legal thriller, on the other hand, usually reveals that information at the beginning or makes it clear that it doesn't really matter who did it so much as whether he or she is guilty.
So as we move along, the plot focuses on whether justice shall prevail. Expect to be thrilled and amused, then ever so slightly surprised.
