The Land Whale Murders
written by Jonathan A. Goldberg
“A refreshingly successful off-the-wall comedy.”
“Perfectly paced, masterfully performed, adroitly clad and set most sublimely. You need to see this show.”
“Perfectly paced, beautifully staged, brilliantly acted – The Land Whale Murders will surprise you, delight you, and leave you fully entertained.”
“Shelby Company is quickly making a name for itself with its professional, comic, and original material.”
Its 1896 and someone sinister is killing off members of the Four Elementals, New York City’s quintessential brain trust. Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt suspects dread eco-terrorist, The Fish Monger; the remaining Elementals suspect Big Whale Oil’s henchmen, the notorious Blowhole Gang and their cutthroat leader, Pirate Penny. The bizarre and impossible abound in the mysterious case of The Land Whale Murders.
