Back in the day murder mystery parties were popular. A scene was set, each guest was given a part to play, and while you ate dinner prepared by the host, you tried to figure out who the murderer was. I participated in one or two of these events and hosted one. I was even in the audience for a murder mystery dinner on a cruise ship once. That was more fun because none of us had to cook. Now there seems to be a resurgence of this idea. This evening I was the audience at a murder mystery performed (and I use the word loosely) by a local Mensa group that a friend of mine belongs to and some of their friends. It was fun in a disorganized sort of way since it was done by Zoom and we were cut off twice, people forgot their scripts and had to go find them in another room, some over acted and some just had fun with it. I thought it was fun, especially since as the audience there was no pressure on me. So naturally I volunteered for the next one which is this Tuesday evening. I'm supposed to get my script tomorrow. At least, since we're doing this by Zoom, no one has to cook dinner. I might have a glass of wine handy though, just to kind of numb the experience.
