Murder for Two, a vaudevillian mystery musical with an energetic two-man cast, opens this week to begin The Old Globe‘s 80th season.
Great American novelist Arthur Whitney has been murdered at his own birthday party, and his killer could be any one of the guests. The entire story is brought to life by two performers: one plays the detective, the other plays all 10 suspects, and both play the piano.
The two actors are Joe Kinosian, who is also co-author of the play, as the 10 suspects and Ian Lowe as Marcus, the detective.
“Murder for Two is theatre at its most fun,” said Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “Silly, energetic, hilarious, and virtuosic, it is sure to kick off the Globe’s celebration of its 80th year and Balboa Park’s centennial in high style, and certain to put big smiles on lots and lots of faces.”
Performances run through Mar. 1 in the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage at the Old Globe. Ticket prices start at $29 and are available online at www.TheOldGlobe.org.
