Dining St. Louis: Special Spotlight
Bissell Mansion Restaurant and
Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre
Presents
Go With the Wind
(Along with any reverence for this popular classic)
Through April 2010
There was a land of cavaliers and cotton fields called the Old South...Here in this pretty world gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of knights and their ladies fair, of master and of slave...Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A civilization that did...
Forget what you saw in the movie. Our parody will introduce you to a foppishly flamboyant Ashley Fru Fru, despised by everyone - including our show's heroine, Scarlett O'Herring. Shortly after he is introduced to the audience in the first scene; jealousies erupt between Scarlett's many suitors. In the heat of passions, Ashley is murdered.
While this will let the audience dine in peace, there's still the problem of trying to apprehend a murderer, since everyone wanted Ashley dead. Could it have been Scarlett's father, motivated by disapproval of the attention she received from him, or could it have been one of Scarlett's many jealous suitors, who wanted her to himself? Or was it Ashley's cousin, Melanie, who was spurned by Ashley for Scarlett's affections? Or was it those damn Yankee? (No, sorry, that's another show altogether). Only the mysterious rake from Georgia, Ratt Butler, can help Scarlett solve the mystery. So come to the Bissell Mansion Dinner Theatre and help Ratt look for clues. Because let's face it, Scarlett is pretty clueless.
Make your reservations now; It would be a CRIME to miss out on this much FUN! Call the Bissell Mansion at 314-533-9830 or 1-800-690-9838.
