May 5, 1962 [151] "The Case Of
the Ancient Romeo"
Director Arthur Marks
TeleplayTrue Boardman
A night at the theater proves fatal.
The lights mysteriously go out during the dueling scene
between Romeo and Paris. When the lights come back on,
the audience is shocked to see that the leading man
playing Romeo has been stabbed to death. Perry's actor
friend, Steve Brock, is accused of the murder, so the
lawyer goes behind the scenes to investigate the cast of
characters.
Perry decides to have the cast reenact
the final scene that was played before
"Romeo's" death to upstage the killer. When the
action begins, this play begins to look more like Macbeth
than Romeo and Juliet.
