Who doesn't love a live-on-stage whodunit?

In the rich tradition of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" and Ira Levin's "Deathtrap," prolific playwright Steven Dietz offers up "Vineland Place," which had its world premiere May 15 at Palm Beach Dramaworks. It had its first reading as one of five plays selected for PBD's "Perlberg Festival of New Plays" in 2025.

In this two-person play, set on the ninth floor of an urban high-rise apartment, we meet Victoria Brody (played by Anne-Marie Cusson), the widow of a late novelist, who hires Henry Sanders (played by Ross Cowan), to finish her husband's -- a hero to Sanders -- final book. Like all good mystery thrillers, we soon learn all is not as it seems, and like peeling back the layers of an onion, secrets are revealed that raise the danger level for both of them.

Under the direction of J. Barry Lewis, Cowan and Cusson are outstanding navigating the complex plotline filled with twists and turns that demand the audience's full attention. In a video interview posted by PBD, Dietz, who has 40-plus plays and adaptations to his credit, talked about the thriller genre.

​What else could happen on that ledge? To find out, you'll have to see the play for yourself. It's playing at Palm Beach Dramaworks in West Palm Beach through May 31. More information is available at their website, palmbeachdramaworks.org.
