Revenge is Sweet! Murder Mystery Luncheon–October 6, 2013

 

Thanks to Sheri and Judy W. for planning our fantastic afternoon at Aleathea’s Restaurant at the beautiful Inn of Cape May.

Revenge is Sweet takes place in 1911when automobiles have superseded the horse for most travelers visiting the shore.   The automobile club is having a banquet at the Mistflower Hotel, which is managed by its two proprietors, Preston Cooley and his sister in law Toinette.   A recent car accident caused by a mysterious stranger at the hotel fuels the resentment of some regarding automobiles as a menace to the public’s safety.  The stranger raises the curiosity of the ladies attending the banquet when they learn that he is connected with the motion picture industry in Fort Lee, New Jersey.   Soon peculiar and disquieting incidents disrupt the festive evening:  theft, tawdry family secrets, and bitter rivalries.   Will all parties finally ride into the sunset or run into a dead-end?

Lunch was excellent.   Cream of Smoked Roasted Red Pepper soup was simply delish.   This was followed by a turkey wrap and dessert of Chocolate Mousse while we enjoyed the antics of the cast.

The cast was hilarious!  They included the dining guests in the show which was especially funny when they referred to Judy A as Dr. Quackenbush!     She played the part like a pro!  Smile

The Inn of Cape May is a beautiful Victorian Inn and a perfect place for this show.   There is also a dining room that overlooks the ocean and is open for lunch.
