Description of Play
Death by Chocolate
is a fiendish whodunnit in the old style, set in a coffee
boutique in New York. Strange, suspicious and
larger-than-life characters frequent an interesting old
shoppe. The sisters who own the shoppe hire a private
detective, Nick Noir, to solve the death of one of their
patrons, Vinnie the Leach, apparently caused by drinking
their delicious specialty, Death By Chocolate. Everyone is
a suspect when another person dies after drinking their
signature drink, and some have more to hide than others.
Cast Requirements
The Coffee Shoppe Investigators
Nick Noir..............
30s or 40s, a Humphrey Bogart wannabe private eye. He wears
the classic trench coat and fedora, talks out the side of
his mouth, and addresses the audience regularly. (358 lines)
Selma....................
20s or 30s, Nick’s devoted secretary. She’s behind the time
fashion-wise, looks like a Kewpie doll, but she’s got her
Blackberry and a brain as back-up. (174 lines)
The Coffee Shoppe Owners
Coco Purvis..........
30s or 40s – twin sister to BonBon, a prematurely
white-haired, bubbly, home-spun sweetie-pie who really
brings the home into home cooking. (108 lines)
Bonbon Purvis......
30s or 40s – twin sister to CoCo, a classic,
sour, straight-back, straight-laced no-nonsense business
owner who is suspicious of everyone and everything - - and
is thus suspicious herself. (87 lines)
The Coffee Shoppe Waitress
Bobbie Sue...........
30s or 40s, a brassy waitress who wants to be a country
singer - - and everybody knows it, because she likes to
sing. The trouble is, she can’t. And, boy, has she got a
secret! (89 lines)
The Coffee Shoppe Customers
Henry Higgins......
23, a typical young guy just beginning to make his way in
the world. So why’s he dressed up and acting
Hickenbottom
like grandpa? (60 lines)
Francois Lepew....
30s, 40s or 50s, more French than a bottle of Bordeaux. So
what’s he doing sitting in the coffee shop hiding behind his
newspaper? (59 lines)
Georgia Gore.......
30s, 40s or 50s, a dowdy, bag-lady type, restaurant critic
who tries to blend in so nobody knows what she’s really up
to. (30 lines).
Yolanda Lamb......
30s or 40s, a mysterious woman dressed all in black,
complete with a black hat and veil. So what’s she hiding?
(53 lines)
Juniper Berry.......
20s, a perky breath of fresh air. So whose side is she on?
(46 lines)

Plot:
Nick is a
single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents
retired and moved to Florida. That doesn’t mean his family
isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his
grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until
he has to tell them that he’s been offered a dream job. The
job he’s been waiting for--marketing executive--would take
him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. He
tells them. The news doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins a
series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he betray
his family’s love to move to Seattle, for a job, wonder his
grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their
level best, and that includes bringing to dinner the
lovely--and single--Caitlin O’Hare as bait...we won’t give
the ending away here.
