San Diego playwright Omri Schein's murder-mystery spoof plays with the plots of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas
In his program notes for “The Savoyard Murders,” San Diego playwright Omri Schein describes his latest play as a “silly murder mystery.”
For those who don’t know , a Savoyard is an enthusiast of Gilbert & Sullivan’s shows like “The Mikado” and “Princess Ida,” which were produced at London’s Savoy Theatre in the late 1800s.The Savoyard in this play is Tiberius Spriggs, a foppish 1920s-era theater critic who invites five unsuspecting theater folks and fans to his London flat for a murder-mystery parlor game.
While “The Savoyard Murders” is very clever, funny and stocked with colorful characters, it could use some nips and tucks.
