t's August 1944 in New York City,
and when detective Mark
McPherson first falls in love with
Laura Hunt, he knows he's in love
with a phantom -- for Laura is dead,
and he's in charge of her murder
investigation. From her portrait, her
letters, her personal effects, and from
his contacts with the three men who
loved her, Mark has created an image
of a woman tantalizingly real. As the
story progresses, Mark discovers lies,
infidelities, and hidden identities, all leading him into a labyrinthine search for Laura's killer. Riddled with surprises, full of dynamic characters and rich, fast-moving dialogue, Laura is a thrilling mystery in the film noir style that will keep audiences guessing "whodunnit" right up to the final scene.
"...[a] story which is filled with mystery, murder, romance, comedy, and unrequited love."
-- MD Theatre Guide
"...a well-acted, entertaining suspense dramedy, particularly for those with a
fondness for the fabulous '40's." --StageSceneLA
