Title: DEADLINE Presented By: BATS Theatre Company Inc. Genre: Comedy / Murder Mystery / Contemporary Play Synopsis: Eight mystery writers arrive at a fog-shrouded island mansion believing they’re there for the legendary “Deadline Challenge” — twenty-four peaceful hours to work on their next novel.

If any writer can mastermind and execute the perfect murder without being caught, they’ll win a million dollars (a life-changing amount for any writer!)
