| Description |
Moose Murders is known to many as the worst play in the world, set in 'The Wild Moose Lodge', a secluded cabin deep in the Adirondack Mountains. Ten unlikely guests including the Holloway Family, a failed comedy double act and a suspicious caretaker are trapped in the lodge during a storm. The group pass the time by playing a murder mystery game. However, real murder occurs and real mystery ensues. Is it the mysterious 'Moose Murderer' returned from the dead, or something much more sinister? The original production of Moose Murders opened and closed on the same night on Broadway. It has become synonymous with bad theatre and has become the bench mark from which all bad Broadway shows are measured. |
