Synopsis: “An Innocent Little Murder” is a dark and wild comedy about three adults and their ongoing attempts to hide the truths they have long wanted to avoid, which suddenly explode. To do this, they will do what we all do: lie, evade, justify, manipulate, deny reality, consider the crime, hide the corpse, and ultimately, complicate their lives.

Audience Comments:
A comedy close to clockwork precision: Dark humor and thriller elements. Intelligent dialogues intertwined with almost dreamlike scenes, where mimicry and choreography complement the carnal aspects of the characters, what they keep silent, their impulses, and desires. Characters tempted by death and bound by love (or bound by death and tempted by love), contradictory, frivolous, human, jealous, funny. A subtle comedy, full of meaning, with commendable actors juggling each mechanism of the plot’s clockwork. (Ignacio)
Hilarious and sexy: A very funny script with frequent plot twists, excellent acting, and moments of laughter and eroticism. (Jose Manuel)
Entertaining, fresh, and exciting: A very amusing play with spicy touches, well-directed and performed. A good start to the weekend that leaves you with a smile on your face. (Yolande)
Fun and highly recommended: A surprising work, filled with humor with a touch of dark comedy, ideal for a fun time. I recommend it 100%. (Bettine)
