"Murder For Rent" is a two act play, featuring a 15 minute intermission between acts. The comedy is described as follows:

"Pretty United Nations interpreter Susannah Whittaker is thrilled to get the apartment of her dreams, but she quickly discovers that the amenities include terrifying break ins, bizarre phone calls, a bewildering romance . . . and homicide. Her sexy roommate Molly has her wildly egotistical boyfriend move in and an ever appearing, zany neighbor conspires to forestall disaster. A tawdry stranger arrives, compounding the mystery. When an angry landlord threatens eviction, he is the first to be murdered. Susannah finds herself strongly attracted to an arcane visitor before the apartment's deadly secret and the murderer are finally revealed.

"A highly successful who dun it, with lots of dead bodies and a charming romance."
