Play Description:
After his car breaks down in the fog, Michael Starkwedder looks for shelter in a nearby house and stumbles upon a man shot dead with his wife standing over him, holding the gun. Unconvinced by the woman’s dazed confession, Starkwedder decides to help, stepping blindly into a tangled web of lies and family secrets. In this classic whodunit, the queen of mystery blurs the line between friend and foe on a foggy night.At the box office you can get a voucher for a discount at the parking ramp of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, 1500 Washington Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55454.
