Augustus Sterling is hosting a Zoom meeting with his children, third wife and closest staff to celebrate his birthday. The bitter, old billionaire is bullying everyone once again and threatening to change his will when—ZZZZZT! Sterling is electrocuted through his phone. Enter Sloan, Rockford Sloan, homicide detective. Through a series of Zoom conferences, Sloan questions the usual suspects, all of whom had a motive. With a twinkle in our eye, and a healthy nod to those famous noir detectives, A Virtual Whodunnit is designed and written to be performed online. When every suspect has motive and opportunity, it’s up to our brave detective AND YOU the audience to find the killer.
This play was shown on YouTube and produced during 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.
