Synopsis
Winifred Witch is dead. According to Dr. X. Ray, she was hit on the head with an electric frying pan and dumped unceremoniously into her own oven. Detective Herlock Sholmes is convinced Gretel Goodietwoshoes is the cold-blooded cook and so is the prosecuting attorney and so is Judge Quinella Questionable, but truth be told, once in a while, and the Clerk records the testimonies, when she’s not courting the Bailiff, and Gretel proclaims her innocence once more before the case is hurled to the twelve member jury chosen from the audience (or drama class) and after ninety minutes of parading witnesses, shocking exhibits, precarious arguments, and one recession... two scripted conclusions are provided, one for each possible verdict, and the cast reacts spontaneously to the “not guilty” or “guilty” verdict. This courtroom farce is easily staged with a simple set, modern costumes, and a minimum of technical directions. Witness testimonies are short and easy to learn... expect the unexpected in Judge Questionable’s courtroom! One interior set.
