Clarissa, the second wife of Henry Hailsham Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure for their bored diplomatic circle. When a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama much harder to cope with, especially as she suspects the murderer might be her young stepdaughter Pippa. Worse still, the victim is the man who broke up Henry’s first marriage! Clarissa’s fast talking places her in some hair raising experiences, as she comes to learn that the facts are much more terrifying than fiction.

Death Ahoy

Cruise director Sunny Sails had her own way of handling the passengers on the good ship Legendary Carnival. Her two decades of life on the Caribbean had seen her promoted from busgirl to the person whom everyone depends upon to get things done. The past eight years had been spent making sure that passengers were happy and content as they enjoyed the amenities of a world-class cruise ship.

It was indeed strange, then, that her body was found early one warm morning tucked away near a lifeboat on Deck 5. At first, everyone was certain it was a tragic accident – an unexpected slip on a wet deck, or an inadvertent misstep.

Yet, the more that was discovered about the death, the more apparent it became that Sails met her demise in an untimely fashion. Who would have wanted to do in such a maritime fixture? After all, stories of Sunny’s many adventures were recounted by cruise ship employees from Fort Lauderdale to Panama. Some of those tales, if true, would make an experienced sailor blush.

Her many encounters with the rich and famous aboard the Legendary Carnival would provide fascinating reading for someone who might want to learn the real ins and outs of a life aboard a luxury ocean liner.

Although the official investigation of the death would have to wait until the ship docked, a selected group of on-board sleuths could provide an early insight into what could have happened to turn a sunny event into a cloudy affair.

Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women
June 13, 2015 at 2:00pm

Location: The Greenbelt Museum, 10B Crescent Road, Greenbelt MD 20770.

Established in 1937, Greenbelt, MD was built by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration during the Depression as an experiment in modern town planning. In observation of the official 75th anniversary of Greenbelt, alight dance theater performed Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women in June of 2012 at the Greenbelt Museum’s historic house.

The sold out performances honored Greenbelt women, past and present, young and old – whose contributions have made this city such a dynamic and inspiring place to live. Choreographed by Angella Foster in collaboration with the dancers, this site-specific dance installation was created specifically for the Greenbelt Museum home and its surrounding grounds. alight dance theater will perform the work again on June 13, 2015 with four showings beginning at 2pm.

The work explores the experiences of the women who lived in Greenbelt as young mothers and homemakers in the late 1930ʼs and early 1940ʼs as “pioneers” of the cooperative spirit of the community. Hometown Heroes features an original sound score, including interviews with six women as found in the oral history archives of the Greenbelt Museum, as well as music, advertisements and radio programs of the era. Because of the size of the Museum house and the nature of the work, space is extremely limited, so all tickets must be purchased in advance.
