Secret feminist plots, an eccentric crew, and a dead body collide in ‘The Suffragette’s Murder.’ This hilarious 1857 farce brilliantly mixes screwball comedy with the fight for human rights.
Step back in time to 1857 New York Cit for a hilarious, fast paced murder mystery!
Set on the lower East side, ‘The Suffragette’s Murder’ follows the eccentric residents of the Mayhew Boarding House as they secretly organise a gathering for the early women’s rights movement. But when a constable suddenly arrives to investigate a shocking murder on the property, the group must launch a wild, comedic ruse to hide their illegal feminist activities and find the killer!
Written by Sandy Rustin, this screwball farce brilliantly balances historical intrigue, sharp wit, and a thrilling whodunit.
