🎭 MURDER AT MAPLEWOOD DINER (1993)

The curtain rises at dawn.

Fog curls around Maplewood’s quiet streets.
The diner door stands unlocked.
Inside, Tom Willis sits frozen at his desk -
a knife in his chest, no sign of struggle,
and the lingering scent of lemon soap in the air.

No forced entry.
A gold bracelet clasp glinting beneath the desk.
Tyre tracks fading into nothing.

Each clue tells a story.
Each character tells a different version of the truth.

🎭 20 roles await their actors
- 8 suspects, each hiding motive and memory
- 8 witnesses, holding fragments of the night
- 4 town roles, watching… judging… whispering

Step into the spotlight as:
🕵️ Detective Mark Hensley, piecing together shattered alibis
💔 Linda Willis, the wife whose story doesn’t quite hold
☕ Sophie Miller, the waitress who saw more than she admits
🔥 Ben Carter, the chef with a temper and a past
📰 Rachel Hayes, the reporter who arrived too soon

This is not a show you watch.
It is a mystery you inhabit. You design.

The lights flicker.
The truth waits in the wings.
And when the final act falls…

Will you expose the lie - or protect it?
