Death by Chocolate is a murder mystery play written by Lesley Gunn, and tells of the murder of the owner of a chocolate factory. As per the usual format of murder-mystery evenings, the audience are fed clues throughout the play, often designed to confuse, and at the interval the cast mingle with the audience and answer their questions. An all-knowing inspector of police supervises the investigation, and at the conclusion the audience are invited to name the murderer or murderers. The producer, Marc Skinner has the discretion to alter the ending slightly each evening so that subsequent audiences don’t already know the answer. You'll need to focus and keep in mind certain details about your characters (like age) that could be missed and may matter to the plotIt’s not all moonlight and roses for Jacobia Tiptree, known to Eastport’s chocolate fans as Jake. Her father and stepmother are quarreling about his plans to move from the home they share with Jake into assisted living. Her son, Sam, and daughter-in-law, Mika, are having some yet-to-be-disclosed disagreement. And while drama dominates at home, there’s also stress at work ever since Brad Fairway, whom Jake thinks she remembers vaguely from her days in New York laundering money for the mob, opens up high-end patisserie Choco’s directly across Water Street from Jake and Ellie White’s Chocolate Moose. But finding Brad shot to death in his shop proves no solution to Jake’s business woes, since the local police immediately pounce on Ellie as their sole suspect. While Ellie waits to be thrown in the slammer, Jake searches frantically for alternatives, beginning with Brad’s lady friend Babs Littrell, a local textile artist. Her investigation takes her into Eastport’s art scene, where she meets a painter, a potter with a pet pig named Jillian, a virtual artist, and a cross-eyed Siamese cat who charms the pants off Jake’s stepmom. What she doesn’t meet is success, until an accidental encounter with the real murderer puts Jake’s life in serious jeopardy. Fast pacing and multiple plot twists move the over-the-top story along, and Graves makes good use of her coastal Maine setting. …Fans of cooking mysteries will enjoy the baking frame.” — Booklist on Death by Chocolate Chip Cupcake CHOCOLAT' BERTRAND - The greatest legend of the Belgian chocolate industry, he is known as much for his ruthless business practices as for his suave bonhomie.
