    "The Murder Room" is a fast-paced British comedy that mixes elements of farce and a good old-fashioned whodunit The characters throw one-liners and confusing questions back and forth with ease. "The Murder Room" has also been described as Abbot and Costello meets Agatha Christie, with a little Monty Python thrown in. One of the funniest aspects of the production are the "Who's on First Base"-like bits of banter that are sprinkled throughout the comedy. "The Murder Room" tells the story of bland Edgar Hollister, who marries a gold-digger, Mavis Templeton. After a couple hours of painful marriage, Mavis apparently tries various means to bump off her apparently rich husband. Disguises, mixed-up identities, trap doors, changing motivations, bumbling policemen and overdone characterizations are all part and parcel of "The Murder Room. The characters play cat and mouse with each other and with the audience, as they unravel the mystery.
