KILLERS WITH BENEFITS – FUNNY CRIME SCRIPT (OR, WHO IS ABOUT TO DO IT)

It’s a dark and stormy night, and the young, attractive, married Mandy is all alone at home (except for her security guard and live in maid, of course) sipping a long island iced tea when the announcement comes over the radio. A dangerous convict has escaped and is at large in the area. A moment later, the lights go out and somebody unknown takes her hostage. He’s armed, soaking wet and … well not quite as dangerous looking as you’d expect in this funny crime script.

Featuring everything you’d expect. A body in the bathtub! An escaped convict! A philandering husband! A cheating wife and her lover! A nefarious plot by more than one party to get rid of the other by the end of the play, utter chaos.

Cast: Eleven: 4F, 7M

Ages of the Actors: Adult but could be done by older teens

Set: Living room of an upper-middle class family. Furniture reminds one of IKEA – functional, minimalist, and characterless. Two
watercolor paintings on the wall are an ostentatious attempt at
emulating “The Water Lilies” – A failed attempt at best. Stage right, an over-sized, frosted glass door, is the main entrance door to the house. Three other doors upstage open into the kitchen, the master bedroom, and a guests’ bathroom. Two big windows, one close to the entry door
reveals a fichus hedge in the distance, and the second window between two doors shows a street lamppost and a part of the hedge. Floor-length curtains hang on each side of the windows.

Level of Difficulty: 7/10 – chaos at the end of the script
