What the Critics Say:
- “There’s no point wondering whodunit—Jeffrey Hatcher’s new play tells us that right off the bat. The fun is finding out how they dun it and why. Mr. Hatcher, who brought a similar triple-pronged structure to his Three Viewings, can do a lot with a single monologue. In the capable hands of Mr. Hatcher, this simple formula provides a pleasing evening’s entertainment.” —NY Times.
- “Murderers is a delight—a very funny comedy with some biting satire and terrific storytelling.” —Talkin’ Broadway.
- “As delightful a group of killers as one is likely to encounter.” —TheaterMania.com.
- “Murderers is an elegant, pitch-black comedy, as compelling to watch as it is to hear. The play manipulates the genre to enliven rich stories, passionately told. High-definition characters…surprise twists and sharply comic turns…masterly writing.” —Philadelphia Enquirer.
