There were laughs a-plenty and personalities galore in this light-hearted romp of a mystery that had a little bit of everything, Clancysaid. Aunt Maggity, a horror novelist who lives on an isolated mountaintop, keeps black widow spiders in the bathroom, stuffed cobras on her writing desk and a heartbreaking secret just under the surface. When her four estranged nieces –Lavinia, the CEO; Lola and Chloe, the New York fashion designers; and Francine, the amateur boxer, descend on her home for the reading of their parents’ will, everyone’s life becomes topsy-turvy.
On top of everything, a rodeo clown who was hiding something, shows up in need of a place to stay for the night. The play has it all, from creepy spiders, suspense and comedic chaos, to a sense of familiar love, forgiveness and what just might be the first happy ending in Aunt Maggity’s career, said Clancy.Â
