A few hours later, his body is found, floating on the water of the lake. A tragic accident? The ongoing events give rise to doubt. There are four persons and four reasons for a murder. :nuke: :nuke: Spoilers Below!!! :nuke: :nuke: Link to comment
Site Administrator Graeme Posted December 12, 2008 Author Site Administrator Share Posted December 12, 2008 What can I say? I've tried writing mysteries and I know how tough they can be. Here, Dolores Esteban has written a great one, with four main characters, each with not only a reason for murder, but an opportunity, too. I'm sure someone will eventually reveal the killer in this thread, but it's not going to be me. If you want to find out, you'll have to read the play yourself. I think this is the first play script that's been submitted as an anthology entry and it sets a high standard. I've not been in theatre myself, but I have friends who are in amateur theatre and I could imagine them performing this play. Well done! Link to comment

Dolores Esteban Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Thanks, David. It's the first play I have ever written and perhaps ever will write. But I truly loved writing it. I feel happy to hear you enjoyed it. I appreciate your detailed feedback. Thanks again. Link to comment
C James Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 A job well done! I liked the mystery aspect, and also, especially, the multiple cases of "guilt". Artfully done. Link to comment
Dolores Esteban Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks C James, I'm glad you liked the play. The anthology was a fine occasion to submit that piece of work. I'm looking forward to the next anthology. Though, this time I do not plan to write play. Thanks again for reading and commenting. Link to comment
Johnathan Colourfield Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 i'm still confused as to who the murderer is after reading Very good script i'm primarily a script writer myself but this seems more like it would be suited to a film adaptation Well set and well presented! Kudos Dolores! Link to comment
