All he wanted was a vacation, but what he got was a small town murder to solve and a supernatural curse to cure. What can ya say? It's in his nature to ask questions. But questions can lead to trouble. As McCloud unfolds the mystery, he wonders who to trust; the heartbroken waitress, the elderly foreigner or the overprotective sheriff? What are they all hiding? Playing homage to our favorite radio dramas of the 1940’s, *An Act of Clay* will creep under your skin with gritty dialogue and pulpy delight. *FEATURING: * Brian Pedaci, Katherine Nash, Samantha Cocco, Greg Mandryk, John Busser and Assad Khaishgi *ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT: * Stuart Hoffman is a Cleveland-based actor and playwright. Readings of his work have been seen at Playwrights Local, Ensemble Theatre, Dobama Theatre, and CPT, where he was a Nord Playwright Fellow.
