ABOUT THE SHOW

 

Act One: The play opens in the living room of the Endicott home, where Mrs. Eleanor Endicott is giving a piano lesson to Una, a young girl who struggles with her music. The scene establishes the financial difficulties of the Endicott family, particularly through Ricky, Mrs. Endicott's son, who expresses concern about affording college. The act introduces the key characters and sets the stage for the central conflict when David Thompson arrives, hinting at a significant discussion about his relationship with Agnes, Mrs. Endicott's daughter. The conversation shifts to the mysterious and wealthy Aunt Caroline, who becomes a focal point as her presence (or absence) looms over the family’s troubles.

 

Act Two: Set two days after the first act, the characters grapple with the fallout of Aunt Caroline's sudden death. The family members and others connected to Aunt Caroline become suspects in her murder, as tensions rise and secrets are revealed. The act focuses on uncovering motives and possible alibis, with each character showing varying degrees of suspicion and concern. The mystery deepens as the characters reflect on their relationships with Aunt Caroline and what her death could mean for them, both emotionally and financially.

 

Act Three: The final act takes place the same night as Act Two and brings the mystery to its climax. The true murderer of Aunt Caroline is revealed through a series of confrontations and confessions. The characters are forced to confront the consequences of their actions and the impact of Aunt Caroline's death on their lives. The play concludes with a resolution that ties up the loose ends of the mystery, providing closure for the characters and the audience.
