Murder Impossible – NiteFort Edition

“Murder Impossible – NiteFort Edition!”

Written by Marc Farley

When the fate of the world hangs in the balance, you can always count on Ethan Stunt, the renegade top-secret agent of an elite organization known as Mission Espionage Headquarters (or MEH). Ethan eats excitement for breakfast, and he never avoids pulse-pounding, often unnecessary tactics, whether it’s climbing insanely tall buildings, hanging off an airplane in midair or driving a motorcycle really, really fast. Ethan’s latest mission: locate a deadly object that could end all life on Earth—probably.

That’s ok. He’s used to that.

But when the evil Mastermind of NiteFort – Battle Royale, the most epic online/arcade/handheld game ever, discovers Ethan is closing in, he does the unthinkable. He pulls Ethan into a world he knows nothing about ….INSIDE the game of NiteFort.

Light the fuse and ignite the thrills, as you’re enlisted to help Ethan Stunt, Lara Croft, Luther the Lyft Driver, some token Russian bad guys, and a whole lot of your favorite video game characters Ethan tries to find the killer and maybe even save the world (while also trying to win a Battle Royale). It’s all in Agatha’s newest action-packed comedy-mystery “Murder Impossible: NiteFort Edition.”

Gimme Liberty or Gimme Death! A Hamilton-esque Mystery

Written by John D. Babcock III

Directed by Ryan Girard

Here ye! Here ye! Agatha’s starts 2019 with a trip back to Colonial America! A time of Washington, Adams, Hamilton. Of powdered wigs, horse drawn carriages and contemporary music (sure – why not). It’s also a time… of… murder!

The year is 1774. American colonists are at odds with King George III and the British Parliament over excessive taxation and reduced liberties. Delegates from 12 of the 13 colonies (where are ya, Georgia?) meet to discuss their political future. Discussions which laid the foundation for self-governance and a complete break from England. Actually, that sounds SUPER boring! The realstory gripping the colonies is the mysterious death of rising songsmith Jeremiah “Lil’ Musket” Big-Britches. Lil’ Musket sings hippity-hoppitysongs, and usually ones where he unapologetically boasts of his own success and lavish colonial lifestyle – really, Lil’ Musket? You need 3 horse drawn carriages? Really?

Such good fortune has made many other colonial hippity-hoppity singers jealous. Singers like DJ ButterChurner, Stamp Act Killa, and Sir Kanyeth of West, all resent Lil’ Musket.

But is their resentment so strong they would reach for their musket, then pour gunpowder from the powder horn into a powder measure, empty that into the barrel of the musket, place a pillow ticking patch over the barrel hole, balance the musket ball on the pillow ticking patch, grab the ramrod and push the ball down the barrel of the musket until it’s good and seated. Then, placing a dry piece of flint in the jaw of the musket’s mechanism and fastening it securely…. you know what? It’s already too much work.

Come to ye olde Agatha’s for a merry good time!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder!

The Flyers call it:

The Spy Who Murdered Me

Written by Kevin Gillese

Move over Pink Panther. Step aside Maxwell Smart. Leslie Nielson? Never heard of him. There’s a new ridiculous spy in town and the name’s Blonde. James Blonde. He’s your classic, sexy international man of mystery only instead of the expected razor sharp wit and keen sense of observation he’s got the bumbling kultziness of a blonde. And the hair to match.

James has been assigned to protect the beautiful Italian heiress, Femme Fatali, on her trip to Atlanta but he’s having some trouble keeping his mind on the job and off of his lovely associate. This is exactly why Femme eventually finds herself caught between MURDER and a DEAD PLACE, and James is left to figure out who did it and why… and also answer the age old question: if your computer freezes should you put it in the microwave or is the oven better?

Join James as he faces off against Russian villains, delves into political intrigue, and does his best not to trip over his own feet… oh yeah, and he’s going to solve the murder too because you don’t need super smarts to be a super spy. Well… actually you do, which is why he’ll need all the help he can get to figure everything out. So bust out your best fedoras and track down your really long cigarette holders and get ready to enjoy… The Spy Who Murdered Me!

It’s award season. Time once again when all the stars in Tinsel Town put on their tailored tuxedos and glittery gowns to make their way to the biggest award show in Hollywood – the Excellence in Motion Picture and Television Awards (the EMPTYS).

The award show which has everything: Glitz! Glam! Bitterness and resentment towards the other people nominated in the same category. Awards night is when the show business elite look their very best and behave at their very worst.

Professional backstabbing is taken to a whole new level when the biggest movie director in Hollywood is murdered at the ceremony. Who would do such a thing? Why would they do it? And how can we blame them? I mean, really. It’s no secret the director was a no good, nasty jerk. Took pride in it, too. Treated people like dirt and enjoyed doing so. The list of murder suspects is, as they say, as thick as the Hollywood Telephone Directory. What’s a telephone directory? It’s a book the phone company would publish with people’s names, address, and phone number. When most people ditched landlines and went cellular, a telephone directory becameunnecessary. The phone company stopped printing them, which saves a lot of paper.

What were we talking about? Oh, yes – a MURDER at an awards show!

Parents are worried! And other teens are lethargic. This rash of disappearances has everyone in town troubled. And when we say ‘rash’ we don’t mean the kind that can be treated with Lotrimin. Although that would be convenient, wouldn’t it? Moving on.

If these disappearances weren’t strange enough, whenever concerned citizens of Who Cares begin to ask questions, they end up DEAD! It seems to happen when they suspect the mysterious government funded laboratory nearby. Now, that’s strange, isn’t it? People dying when they voice their suspicions of a government funded lab? Wonder what the connection might...

Sorry, this is The Mysterious Government Funded Lab. We just wanted to tell you that there’s nothing going on over here. That is all. As for the writer of the show, he left. So I wouldn’t look for him. We certainly don’t know where he is. As for you, the audience, come on down to Agatha’s! Where you won’t see anything suspicious from us, The Mysterious Government Funded Lab. But apparently there’s some murders happening that we know nothing about. Strange.

How to Almost Get Away with 50 Shades of Murder

Written by John D. Babcock and Ryan Girard

He was mysterious. He was a billionaire. He was so handsome. Seriously, even in death that dude is still handsome. Of course, we are talking about Christian Beige, the mysterious billionaire who…..did we mention he was handsome? Cuz, like WOW, that DUDE IS HANDSOME!!! Anyway, HE’S BEEN MURDERED! But by who? Was it the fresh-faced college student Anesthesia Steele?

Anesthesia needs help, and she’ll turn to the best lawyer/teacher/sassypants in the business, Analise Cheating. Analise knows how to defend her clients using any means necessary. She’ll break the law, break hearts, break promises, and break all the rules. Because if there’s one rule about a murder trial, it’s that THERE ARE NO RULES……Except those rules previously agreed upon by the American Judicial System, which I believe are called “Laws”.

Join Analise, Anesthesia, Christian Beige (he really is handsome), prosecuting attorney Atticus Finchlock, and the criminal mastermind Blue Blue-ington (his list is Blue) for the trial of the century! Well, maybe not the century, but the decade…..well, if not the decade, then the year…..maybe the trial of the week.

You, the audience, are the jury. You’ll decide guilt or innocence. So sit back, listen, judge, and laugh hysterically through the entire process, as you figure out “How to Almost Get Away with 50 Shades of Murder!”

Scandal and Murder in the House of Cards

Written by John D. Babcock, III

Frank OverTree is the Majority Whip in the United States House of Representatives. He represents Georgia’s 16th Congressional District – a small district comprised of Savannah River islands like Cabbage Island and Hog Marsh Island (those are real – check a map!)

Frank OverTree may be just a Whip now, but he’s ambitious, cutthroat, ruthless, and despicable. He doesn’t care who he steps on to get what he wants. In other words, he’s a politician. He, and his wife Claire, form the ultimate Washington D.C. power couple.

Of course like everyone in D.C., they have secrets. Deep, dark secrets. Things like corruption, extortion, influence peddling, and even…murder? If these secrets get out, not only would no one vote for OverTree, but – even worse – he won’t be able to raise any MONEY!

That’s where Olivia Soap and Associates come in. They wash away the secrets. They make the problems of their clients disappear. They’re not a law firm – despite the fact that all of them are lawyers. Just don’t call this company of lawyers a law firm. They’re not! Confused? Good. They’re doing their job.

Let’s hope you’re confused enough to vote for OverTree, and find a murderer.
