... only to find their Pulitzer prize-winning psychiatrist is missing
It seems this Pulitzer Prize-winning doctor might be writing another book and it further seems these patients might be his subjects
The Group consists of Martin Chisholm, an ambitious political consultant; Dossie Lustig, a sensual restaurant hostess; the snob socialite Pamela Prideaux; Vassili Laimorgos, a sly dealer in antiques and collectibles; the rich and arrogant real estate mogul Gregory Reed; a cop with a grudge, Dan Gerard; and Nam-Jun Vuong, a college instructor and resentful would-be administrator
On this particular evening the members of the Group gather as usual in Dr. Bering's office only to discover that the doctor has been murdered
So who did it?
Act One is a "whodunit" and by its end the audience knows the murderer
Act Two becomes a suspense play
Will the characters figure it out?
Or will someone actually be "getting away with murder?"
