Abstract

A Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre play, "The Ostrich Club" runs as a one-act play, at a time of 30 minutes, with only an additional brief introductory scene before dinner. Set in a club in the 1940s, it references “The Big Sleep”, with apologies to Raymond Chandler and his detective, Philip Marlowe, and Bette Davis’, film, “The Letter”. A classic ‘who-done-it’ with film noir overtones, it could also be done as a stand-alone piece, instead of dinner theatre.
