AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER
Written by Joe DiPietro

📸 Jonathan Moonen

🔦It’s 1943, and the aging Colonel Claythorne has gathered his family at his mansion for what should be a quiet evening. His guest of honor is a well-known mystery writer ✍️ the kind of man who can’t resist a good story, even when it’s not his to tell. When he lets slip that the Colonel has changed his will, cutting out one of his two 👯‍♀️daughters, the room turns tense 😬 . Nobody knows which daughter it is. Everybody has a guess. 🥃

By the time a visiting widow and her son, a young detective, arrive, tempers have already boiled over, and it’s too late to undo what happens next. A body is found 👤, the storm ⛈️ outside traps everyone inside, and every person in that house has a reason to want the truth buried. 🪏

🕵️‍♂️Now it’s up to Detective Peck to sort fact from fiction before the killer gets away with it.

AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER
Written by Joe DiPietro
🎭Directed by David Hymel
✨Asst. Dir. Antonia Macovei

The Claythorne mansion doesn’t creak by accident. Generations have passed through its halls, and the house remembers all of them. All the portraits that watch you from the walls, a fire that never quite chases out the cold, and the rain that beats against the windows like it’s trying to get in…👀

🥃Tonight, the family has gathered in the grand room, glasses in hand, secrets close to the chest. Somewhere upstairs, a dying man’s will sits unsigned. Somewhere in this house, someone has already decided what they’re willing to do to see it their way.

⛈️The storm outside is nothing compared to what’s coming inside.

Rain hammers the windows. The lights flicker. Somewhere in the Claythorne mansion, a killer is smiling. 🌧️🔪

AN OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY MURDER by Tony winner Joe DiPietro’s razor-sharp comic mystery. A dying colonel. A will with a secret. A family that smiles at dinner and stabs at midnight.

Everybody’s got an alibi. Is anyone telling the truth? And when the body drops, the whole house becomes a lineup of liars. 🥃🕵️‍♀️

One night. One mansion. One killer hiding in plain sight.
