Death of A Doornail

Bored with the same old play scripts?

Why not add some mystery and some laughs?



Welcome to Play Dead - your best alternative for theatrical events and comedy murder mystery plays. Whether you're looking for entertainment for High School, College, Community theatre, Dinner theatre, or a Fund Raiser, we help you create memorable moments of mystery and laughter in front of an audience.


Our play scripts are not "party" games, but full-length plays with dialogue, characters, and a plot - perfect for theatrical purposes. However, if you're looking for murder mystery party games to play at home, we've got you covered too!

Games

Some of our scripts* contain a section of minimal improvisation and audience interaction, adding an extra layer of excitement and engagement for your audience. You can also adapt the plays with your own local references to your community (*scripts by Lee Mueller).

Our plays range from a cast of 8 up to 16 and generally have a running time of 75 mins or more, making them adaptable for any venue. All scripts are available for download as a PDF upon payment, with no waiting for script books to arrive - and no extra charge for audience size or the amount of scripts needed. So, get ready to put on a show and create unforgettable experiences with Play Dead.

Many of our plays are available in Paperback format and on most E-reader platforms including Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Itunes Books and more..

"This was our first attempt at any kind of show at the park district. We had 70 people show for dinner and the show, which is more than we had hoped. My boss was so pleased that he wants to do another one in the winter. Thank you for all of your help."
