Review of Bone Chiller

The play “Bone Chiller” is an interesting and very funny play. With some plays, it is hard to follow the story, and it is easy to get bored. This play was easy to follow and never boring. Funny things happened throughout the play. The set was very nice, and some of the actors had some really funny hair. The animals in the set were cool, and some of them looked like the real animals. The lighting was good, so everything on the stage was easy to see. I could hear everything that was said by the actors.

When the play begins, someone has killed Josiah Travers. Josiah had a lot of money. He has left a will that is written on the wall. The will is made up of words and pictures, and is like a puzzle. The money is inside a penguin, and it will go to the person who can solve the puzzle to figure out who killed Josiah and how to open the penguin. A group of people have come to read the will and to try to figure out who killed Josiah. Some of the people are family and friends of Josiah, but some of the people seem strange. Pippi is the maid, Lucretia is the cook and Mauve is the butler. They all worked for Josiah. Connie, Theodosia and Kissy Travers, and Eloise Ainsley were family members. Jerry Devlin is engaged to be married to Connie Travers. Addie Sheridan is the family lawyer, and Buzzy Burdett is a family friend. It seemed normal to have those people there. But, it seemed strange that Dan Denton who pretended to be a policeman and was maybe a friend of Flame Fondue was there. Flame pretended to be a kindergarten teacher, but was not. Zita Van Zok had some kind of magical powers, which made this a very interesting character.

Mauve, the butler, was the first to be killed while they were trying to solve the puzzle of the will. We thought that Lucretia, the cook had been killed, but we later found out that she was not dead. Toward the end of the story, it was discovered that the killers were Addie Sheridan, Josiah’s lawyer, and Dan Denton. Both of them had guns. Zita Van Zok used magic to turn Addie Sheridan into a frog, but Dan Denton still had his gun. Then Lucretia, who we thought was dead, came out and hit the other killer, Dan Denton, in the head.
