    Tickets Now On Sale For Death And Deceit On The Nile

    Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Theater: "Death And Deceit On The Nile"

    Pattaya Players (Home of Pattaya's Professional Amateurs) is proud to unearth a treasure trove of laughs as its newest production "Death And Deceit On The Nile" sets sail at the Indian By Nature Restaurant in Jomtien. This production is the first in an annual series of dinner theatre offerings presented by the Pattaya Players, written by Peter DePietro. DePietro is a veteran of the interactive dinner theatre genre, with hits including "Broadway Babylon," "A Fatal Combination," "The Hilarious Hillbilly Massacre," "Murder At Rutherford House" and "Murder At The Prom."

    Synopsis: When the incredibly opulent secret tomb of an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh is excavated, can murder be far behind? Of course not! But the killer cannot be caught without the help of the audience to sort through the highly dubious stories of the international cast of characters.

    Though the title may evoke thoughts of classic murder mystery novels, "Death and Deceit on the Nile" is played strictly for laughs. "It's a cross between Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and Clue," said Chris Parsons, Pattaya Players Board Member and part of the ensemble cast. "All of the characters are over-the-top funny."

    The mystery takes place on a cruise ship while sailing on the Nile. An ancient Egyptian Pharaoh's secret tomb and treasure has been discovered. Because of its extraordinary value, it has been named the "Eighth Wonder of the World." A cast of bizarre international characters assemble to view it: a scheming professor, a voluptuous princess, a daffy housekeeper, a slick lounge lizard, and an astute writer and a dealer in exotic antiques. Suddenly, gunshots ring out! The archaeological wonder becomes the focus of murder. Heated interrogations, shocking revelations and hilarious banter eventually give way to the dramatic realization of whodunit. When the killer is caught, the ancient gods of Egypt can finally rest easily ... or can they?

    During the play, the audience is asked to join in by assuming their own identity (character names and biographies will be given to all guests) and by studying clue cards, which may reveal the identity of the killer. Audience members are encouraged to "get in character" and join in on the fun -- but may also choose to just sit back and enjoy the show. The production consists of a one-act play set in four scenes.

    What the critics say about "Death & Deceit On The Nile"...
    "Superb! One of the all time best interactive murder mysteries." --Mystery Writers of America.
    "A wonderfully grand evening of mystery, comedy and intrigue." --Straight Times, Singapore.
    "Irresistible, tantalizing mirthful mayhem." --Post Star.
    "An evening to remember. Laughs and lunacy guaranteed!" --Dolphin Digest, Flordia, USA

    Ray Lightbown directs a versatile cast composed of members of the Pattaya Players including Chris Parsons, Debbie Cavanaugh, Foo Smith, Duane Hauch, Neil Wrightson and Sanjay Lamba. As a Clinical Psychotherapist, Lightbown brings a unique and refreshing perspective to the production. He says, "we happily improvise roles in our childhood game-playing. I want grown-ups to reclaim the fun of playing out characters тАУ cast and audience alike."

    The show runs one night only on Saturday, September 6th and tickets must be purchased in advance as seating is limited. The doors will open at 7:00 pm. Dinner will consist of a four course meal plus cocktail-hour hors d'oeuvres drawn from Indian By Nature's acclaimed menu of exotic favorites. Since this is a one-night-only engagement, tickets are required and are available by visiting www.pattayaplayers.org or by emailing pattayaplayers@gmail.com or in person at Indian By Nature (306/64-68 Ch├вteau Dale Plaza Thappraya Rd.). The cost for an entire evening of food and fun is just 1,300 Baht per person.

    The Pattaya Players still continue to seek corporate and private sponsors to help offset their current set-up costs. Please consider joining 2008 current sponsors: AA Insurance Brokers, Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, Chevrolet, Indian By Nature, Rabbit Resort, Horseshoe Point, Casa Pascal, The Sleep Factory, St. Andrews International School, Steps & Rhythm Dance Academy, The Pattaya City Expats Club, Spice Magazine and Pattaya Mail in helping the Pattaya Players to become the premier creative arts organization in Pattaya! In addition, personal memberships are also be available to any interested party. The cost of a single membership is 500 Baht for adults and 250 Baht for students. Included in the membership will be a monthly e-newsletter, future opportunities for "professional amateur training courses and seminars" and invitations to Pattaya Player's exclusive "Social Evenings" -- one of which was just held on June 27, 2008.
