ABOUT THE PLAY:
When the only living relative of the Hunt family inherits the mansion that has been in the family for over a century, there are some stipulations. For instance, he must spend the night there and it must be downstairs in the living area. An overly aggressive female real estate agent tries right away to push for the sale of the property, doing a bit of flirting as she does. She believes there is a hidden treasure in the house, and she wants it! The heir holds off, trying to honor the family’s wishes after learning that the original owners were murdered in the house more than a century ago. The ghosts of those owners, however, are still there (though they prefer the term spirits); but something went wrong for their murderer, so they must relive the event over and over and over again.. each time in a new and hilarious manner. Add to that the heir, being the last living relative, is the only one that can actually see and communicate with their spirits, which leads to some unusual goings-on.
