As she gave more attention to it, she wondered if it would be too confusing. But…that’s what was going to make it a hilarious farce, and show the acting skills of all the actors.

The actors were putting on Agatha Christie’s mystery play featuring Hercule Poirot, Appointment With Death, and at the same time putting on Akhnaten, Christie’s play regarding the life of the first monotheist, Akhnaten (the father of Tutankamun).

Each actor would also be playing himself, except in a fictional way, as they plotted and schemed to increase their stage time and role importance.

Philip Droste had been the Sweetwater Little Theatre actor who played Detective Sergeant Trotter, and Brian Dexter had played Christopher Wren.

Story resumes Sep 24

My mom, who is 75, wants to go up to teeny tiny town near Rapid City, to see her sister, who is 80. They live in a house in the boonies and have no internet.

I'll be back online on Monday the 24th and promise not to miss another day.

Please bear with me, your patience is appreciated!

MIchelle Bravo's Seduction: Chapter 5

Anne Greenstreet placed three heaping scoops of Chocolate Cashew Nut ice cream in a bowl, and took it and a spoon to her computer desk.

She had booted up her computer before making the kitchen run, and now she pulled up a word processing program.

She opened up the program for The Mousetrap and read the cast list. Then she opened up her copy of the Agatha Christie book Appointment with Death, and read the cast list for that.

Then she put them all together:

Members of the Delicious Death Society

Carl Lathom

Nice body #1

Jean-Claude Van Damme is apparently a jerk of the first water... but he does have a nice body...

Michelle Bravo's Seduction ch 4

The second act was as good as the first. There were lots of opportunities for Christopher Wren and Detective Sergeant Trotter to show their acting shops. The actor who played Major Metcalf wasn't too bad either, showing a dry humor.

When the house lights came up, the audience gave the cast a standing ovation.

Anne Greenstreet remained seated, although she applauded as enthusiastically as all the rest.

But her face was thoughtful.

As she'd sat watching the second act, an idea had occurred to her. An idea for a play. An idea for a mystery play, featuring the same actors who had played the roles in The Mousetrap.

Quickly she took a pen out of her purse and wrote her idea on the back of the program, so she wouldn't forget it.

Then she rose to her feet and joined the throng leaving the theater.

The actors were standing in a line in the lobby - still in costume - greeting their audience, shaking hands, saying "Thanks for coming, hope you enjoyed it."

Not all the audience members paused to say hello, and Anne went with them out of the theatre. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to these actors - particularly the guys who had played Christopher Wren and Detective Sergeant Trotter - but if things went the way she intended, she'd  have plenty of reason to talk to them in future without coming across like a schoolgirl with a crush.

She was going to write a play - and this company of actors would be in it!
