Info and tickets February 6,8,9, 13,15 and 16 at the Lindsay Community Theater, “ A Shot in the Dark” Directed by Jan Owens Josefa Lantenay, the maid of an aristocrat, is hauled before the magistrate on a charge of murder, having been found unconscious, nude and clutching a gun, with her lover dead beside her. What is most shocking to the magistrate is the complete frankness with which she describes her life as a parlor maid and her affairs with both the dead chauffeur and her aristocratic employer. It is left to the magistrate to determine the truth of her statements and whether or not she is the real killer. |
