Eberstadt Frankenstein Stage presents cult crime thriller
England in the 1950s. On the same day that a woman is brutally murdered in London, Mollie and Giles Ralston open their small guesthouse, Monkswell Manor, in the countryside.
They eagerly await their first guests, who arrive during a fierce blizzard: the peculiar architecture student Christopher Wren, the stern, spinsterish Mrs. Boyle, the reserved Miss Casewell, and the retired officer Major Metcalf. Later, a shady guest unexpectedly arrives, having crashed his car in the snow. Sergeant Trotter also battles his way to Monkswell Manor on skis, as the police suspect the fugitive London murderer is among the guests! The house is soon completely cut off from the outside world. And then another murder occurs. The guesthouse is a "mousetrap," trapping not only more victims but also the murderer himself. Everyone is a suspect, but who will be the next victim, and who is the killer? Find out at the Frankenstein Stage and join the ensemble in the search for the culprit.
