"Murderers" is a play composed of three distinct monologues, each centered around individuals residing in Florida retirement communities who candidly confess to being murderers. The first character ingeniously weds his mother-in-law to evade real estate taxes, the second character is a betrayed wife seeking vengeance against her unfaithful husband, and the third character holds a management position within the retirement community, unveiling their own dark secrets.

Reviews
“Hatcher's sketchiest monologue is fortuitously entrusted to one of Seattle's most dependable comic actresses, that deep voiced delight Sarah Rudinoff, who, as Minka Lupino has us rooting for her from start to finish.”
David Edward-Hughes, Talking Broadway
“The funniest chapter of “Murderers” is the final segment, with Rudinoff’s genial, homicidal Minka Lupino. She has a blithe, perky way with her one-liners that keeps the laughs rolling.”
Misha Berson, The Seattle Times
