I 've been trolling the message boards for inspiration, and have compiled quite a reading list - thanks!

I saw a description of a play (didn't write down the title) and now I can't find it again. I've tried re-tracing my cyber steps with no luck.

It was a play within a play murder mystery, with actors planted in the audience. If that rings any bells for anyone, I'd appreciate the title.

thanks so much!

My new murder mystery, The Man in Seat 24 or (The Uninvited Guest), has a cast of 15- 8 females and 7 males- and is published by Brooklyn Publishers.
Synopsis: An irate, rude, and combative theatre patron (in your audience!) hijacks the cast, the crew, and his fellow theatre-goers and winds up stone cold dead at center stage. The Man in Seat 24 Or (The Uninvited Guest) is a murder mystery, a play-within-a-play, where a harried and frazzled theatre director investigates a murder--during a night of theatre gone wrong--and realizes that there is more to this evening’s performance than meets the eye.
Note: There is an optional audience participation section in Act 2 and five imbedded actors in the actual audience.
Good luck in your search,
Martin
