In this parody spoof of southern plays, Colonel Chickenwing has died with the secret to his buried treasure for his demented relatives to unravel. Bubba juggles bowling balls, Blance du Blank's fiancé drowned in the quarry, a poet with a split personality, Lawyer Possum whose best client is an alligator, a movie queen and a princess, and Amanda Chickenwing. There is another death, and mystery abounds. Toss in a prehistoric garden with murderous honeysuckle vines, yapping hounds, voodoo a hurricane and more madcap hilarity!
Murder in the Magnolias opens April 1, 2011 and closes Sunday April 17, 2011.
