A strange event took place at the house of New York's deputy-mayor, while he was celebrating his wedding anniversary. Murder? Suicide attempt? Or, maybe both? The mystery must be solved on the spot by the party guests, since any information
leakage could endanger their careers.

We are the witnesses of such a critical situation, that the suspense only increases, the fright turns into comedy and everything
is bursting with humor.

The famous script writer and American playwright, Neil Simon, wrote this play by using a type of storyline created to match that of whodunits, but set on a comedy rhythm, therefore providing the perspective of a real life occurrence. If the news that a certain „character" tried to kill himself, but the bullet touched nothing but his ear seems familiar to you, that is nothing but mere coincidence...any resemblance to actual persons is purely coincidental.
