Back by popular demand is the
Murder Mystery Dinner at Blyth
Memorial Hall on Friday, October
27th at 7 p.m. and Saturday,
October 28 at 7 p.m. Promising
politicians will be murdered as part
of the world premiere of Paul
Davy’s play, “All Candidates Mur
der” where even the audience is
part of the entire plot. On “one of
Blyth’s hottest election nights” -
diners will elect from a list of
promising politicians, their candi
date for Mayor. They must be
careful, one of them is a murderer!
Directing this zany evening and
cast of characters is Stephen Oliver
with producer and stage manager,
Marian Doucette.
“I am delighted that Alice
Munro will be one of the perform
ers in ‘All Candidates Murder’ ”
says author Paul Davy. “She is one
of Canada’s best writers and one of
my favourite writers of all time.
The idea for this script came about
as a result of a heated candidates
meeting I attended in my area
during the last election. I wanted to
write a play exploring the extent to
which politicians would go in order
to get elected. I also used Rainbow
Theatre’s recent murder mystery
play set at a shareholder’s meeting
as a model for this script.”
Paul Davy, a teacher of gifted
children, french and english at
Parry Sound High School has been
writing plays for the past two
years. “Our Drama Club at the
high school has no budget and so I
began writing plays for our Club to
save money and to incorporate
everyone’s talents into our script.
My first play, ‘Murder Contest’
won the Georgian Bay Sears Drama
Festival in 1988 Award for Best
production and Best Actress. ‘Jour
ney to the Sun’ which I wrote last
year, won the Georgian Bay Sears
Drama Festival in 1989 for Best
Actress in Barrie.”
Saturday’s performance of “All
Candidates Murder” is entirely
sold out with Friday’s performance
50 per cent sold. Tickets are $24
per person including dinner and all

Capital campaign.
