It is 1928…also known as the Roaring 20’s. A time well known for dangerous bootlegging and notorious gangsters.
You just stepped into “Ruby’s Place,” a popular speakeasy. Tonight is the memorial service for Vito “The Gut” Marzetti, who was gunned down last week in a gangland slaying. As a dear friend of Vito’s, you have been invited to pay your respects to the family: JOEY “The Lump” Marzetti, the youngest son (a bootlegger, and he ain’t overly bright), RUBY “Fingers” Marzetti, Joey’s sister and a manager of the speakeasy (an ex-showgirl, she is street-wise and smart), FRANKIE “Marbles” Marzetti, the eldest of the three (knows for his con jobs, using his various alter egos), and LENA Marzetti, the grieving newly-married widow.
If you wish, please be prepared to give a short eulogy in rememberance of Vito.
Prizes awarded to best Roaring Twenties costume! (Vito woulda want it that way).
Funeral for a GANGSTER by Eileen Moushey is produced by special arrangement with Mysteries by Moushey, Inc. (Minor revisions by John Gibson)
