Synopsis:
Clarissa, wife of a diplomat, is adept at spinning tales of adventure, but when a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama much harder to cope with. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests.
​
Character Descriptions:
Sir Rowland Delahaye - Age 45-65, A distinguished gentleman with very definite charm. Clarissa's guardian, friend and adviser, he likes to think that he can guide her but would never admit that she has him wrapped around her little finger.
Hugo Birch - Age 45-65. The local Justice of the Peace. A rather irascible type who shouldn't be involved in business like a murder.
Clarissa Hailsham-Brown - Age 25-40, The second wife of Henry Hailsham-Brown, charming and inventive, her imagination tends to work overtime with some unexpected consequences.
Jeremy Warrender - Age 25-35. An elegant young man and guest at the Hailsham-Brown's house, the private secretary for a man much wealthier than he.
Oliver Costello - Age 35-40. He is suspected of shady dealings. None of the other characters like him and neither should the audience-even though he is killed in the first act his body gets to hang around in the second act.
Pipa Hailsham-Brown - Age 12-16. Clarissa's young stepdaughter. She exhibits the strong emotional swings of a teenager made worse by pervious family problems. Must look strong enough for the audience to believe that she killed Oliver.
Mildred Peake - Age 35-60. Is happy and boisterious woman in tweed and bum boots. The gardener with a hearty attitude, some suspect that she isn't all there.
Mr. Elgin - Age 45-65. The butler, nothing escapes him, he is always listening.
Henry Hailsham-Brown - Age 40-60. Clarissa's husband. A good looking man with a rather expressionless face who works in the foreign office, a strong, solid type who worries about everything.
Constable Jones - Age 20-40. (Male or Female). Jones and the Inspector have been working together long enough that they understand each other well.
Inspector Lord - Age 35-65. (Male or Female). The wheels are always turning in the Inspector's brain. Although he doesn't let on, that he doesn't miss a thing. ​

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammer-stein was destined to become the world’s most be-loved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.

Set in a hospital, It Runs in the Family contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex wife, a punkish son and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference.
