laying detective is part of the
audience experience when
Starbrite Productions stages
Murder: The Next Generation, one
of 15 interactive mysteries written by
David Landau.
The play, running weekends Feb. 2-
March 31 at the Premier Entertainment
Center in Chesterfield Township, is a
sci-fi spoof with original songs and is
presented as part of a dinner-theater
program. The action takes place in a
seedy space station nightclub in the year
2140 and introduces a house detective
character asking the audience for advice
in solving the murder of an alien.
"It's also about a character having self
doubts," says Landau, who offers scripts
through his company, Murder to Go.
"Nothing seems to be working for him
and he doubts whether he's any good.
There's a great song, 'Easy Way Out
which starts out with the character say-
ing he's quitting and ends as he changes
his mind."
Landau, close to 50, got the idea for
interactive plays while working on the
lighting crew of the 1980s TV show
Nurse. A group of investors enjoyed
following the crew from one location
to another, and he thought audiences
might enjoy similar experiences.
His first project, The Mystery
Express, was a 24-hour play presented
on a train from New York to Montreal.
Because of expenses, he went on to
shrink the concept into a dinner-theater
time slot.
"A lot of my plays are tributes to
famous genres of the murder mystery;'
explains Landau, who is based in New
Jersey and teaches screenwriting and
film production at Fairleigh Dickinson
University." Virginia Jones & the Inca
Revenge is a tribute to the adventure
movie, particularly the ones about
Indiana Jones."
Landau, whose Jewish heritage is
from his father, has not written a mys-
tery with a Jewish theme, but he has
brought Judaism into other scripts. A
graduate of Ithaca College in New York
with a master's degree from Goddard
College in Vermont, he has worked on a
musical based on the life of Houdini, a
Dave A. Donaldson and Michaella
Dionne in Murder: The Next
Generation
magician with Jewish roots.
Other Landau projects include 200
interactive plays written specifically
for corporations. He began writing as
a youngster and continued on his own
time while employed as a TV produc-
tion technician.
Murder: The Next Generation,
which was developed at the time sci-fi
was big in the movies and on TV, fea-
tures John Tonkovich as Duke Stargazer,
Melanie Thayer as Commodore Brianna
St. Croix and Michaella Dionne as
Security Officer Andor. Dionne, like the
playwright, has Jewish heritage through
her father.
"I love science fiction, and this is a
fun play," says Dionne, a 40ish Livonia
resident who has worked with the
Michigan Opera Theatre and other local
producers for 20 years. "I think the audi-
ence will like being part of it."
Murder: The Next Generation
will be performed Fridays and
Saturdays, Feb. 2-March 31,
at the Premier Entertainment
Center, 33151 23 Mile, in
Chesterfield Township. Cocktails
and dinner are at 6 p.m. at
Guiliano's Italian Ristorante in
the center, and patrons proceed
through an indoor concourse to
the 7:30 p.m. show at the the-
ater. $39.95. (586) 725-2228.
