Don’t play with your food. That’s what our parents used to say. Perhaps they’d be a little more obliging if they could see Act Out Mystery Theatre’s Character Assassin, staged at the Reef Restaurant. Written and directed by Paul Vander Roest, it’s not just a play (a good one), or a meal (a good one), it’s interactive, it’s both, a play and a meal, so you’re encouraged to play while you eat. Some of us participate (face it, we’re all red herrings, one way or another), we all sleuth, trying to figure out who killed famed mystery writer Dame Hagatha Christie Higgins Hark at a reading of her latest murder mystery.
