Crowded Kitchen's "Death By Lullaby" presents important insights in crackling murder mystery, at The Ice House
Things are not what they seem in the premiere of “Death By Lullaby,” a play that smartly tackles some of the very serious problems that can occur in senior living situations, while being packaged in a crackling murder mystery story.
The pitfalls that result from staffing shortages, medical mismanagement and lack of oversight are illuminated in the intriguing new play written and directed by Ara Barlieb, and being presented by Crowded Kitchen Players through Oct. 26 at Charles A. Brown Ice House in Bethlehem.
Mrs. Tigert, outstandingly played by Trish Cipoletti, is the newest resident at Wheatland Retirement Community. Mrs. Tigert, who it seems has apparently had a stoke, awakens in the home in the middle of the night, screaming and lost.
