The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
This specific production does not yet have a description, but the play itself does:
The play is a spoof of “old dark house” films, especially “The Cat and the Canary” starring Bob Hope.
The maid Helsa Wenzel is killed in the first scene but subsequently impersonated by her homicidal twin brother Dieter. The actor / actress playing Helsa also appears at the end of the play as Katrina, the cook from Koblenz.
