Murderers

As the baby boomers age, we expect to see a lot more shows set in retirement communities. And why not? As a latter-day version of dorm life, with drugs (non-recreational), sex (nineteen women for every guy), and gossip (what else is there to do all day?), it makes for perfect theatrical fodder. In this play, set in Florida, naturally, a rash of murders exposes the ill will of just about every resident in a retirement community. They all have good reasons to bump off their neighbors–and trust us, it’s not just about money, in a world in which an attractive man is a breathing one. This wicked comedy was the talk of last year’s Fringe festival, and it’s back for a proper, twisted run. 528 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis; 612-339-4944; www.illusiontheater.org
