Being pushed out due to rising rent costs, Limelight Theatre Company are holding their last General Meeting in their beloved theatre. The Chairman, Richard, does his best to keep the meeting focused on planning the relocation, but is unable to keep his suspicions that Andy sold them out to his employers regarding the undervalue rent to the council. After running through the plans, conversation turns to reminiscing about their previous plays, favourite roles, costume and props to discussion what constitutes proper theatre. Stella believes that pantomime is killing the Company, despite it being their only profitable venture. Mark is not happy with the previous minutes calling him a gigolo and thinks Angie is overstepping the ‘ex’ card. Diane is distracted thinking of ways to get revenge on Mark and Andy for frightening her earlier.
Once the meeting has closed, the lights go out and two will never see the limelight again. Will Detective Inspector Murray and Detective Constable Kelly solve the crime in time and will Limelight put on another pantomime?
This comical theatre based whodunnit has something for everyone and unlike Limelight theatre, will leave you wanting to come back for more!
