Murder Mystery Death by Design Now Playing

ANNA MARIA — The Island Players recently opened Ron Urbinati's Death by Design at their Anna Maria Island theater.

A theatre couple escapes London after a disastrous opening night but are followed to their country manor by several unexpected guests, each with a long-held secret and a motive for murder in this comic blend of Noel Coward and Agatha Christie.

Directed by Preston Boyd, Death by Design runs March 13-30. Visit the Island Playes' website for ticket and schedule information.
