Bay City Players will present the play "Anatomy of a Murder", by Elihu Winer based on a novel by Robert Travis. October 12-14 and October 18-21, 2007 at the Bay City Players, 1214 Columbus Avenue, in Bay City. Performance times are 8:00 p.m Thursday through Saturday and 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Anatomy of a Murder is directed by Stasi Schaeffer.
Set during 1960's in a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Anatomy of a Murder is a riveting courtroom drama.
Defeated for re-election after serving six years as District Attorney of Iron Cliffs County, Paul Biegler is dispirited at the prospect of having to establish himself as a defense attorney. But the first case that comes his way is a sensational one: he takes the defense of an army lieutenant accused of the cold-blooded murder of a bartender who had allegedly raped the lieutenant's wife.
Biegler's handling of the case is complicated by the intense dislike he develops for his client. It is a see-saw battle all the way, one dramatic courtroom confrontation following another, as Biegler uses every device available to him in evidence and in law to save the lieutenant's neck. Victory or defeat? The irony is that there's a measure of both. (This show contains some adult themes).

THE PLOT: Flight attendant George Noonan, father of five girls, needs a vasectomy. That's the basic idea, but how George finally comes to terms with following through with the plan is the plot of this comedy. His routine visits to the female urologist "become psychotherapy sessions about life, the insignificance of modern-day man, and the vast differences between stewards and stewardesses." Because he makes many trips to the doctor before he finally follows through, his wife suspects he's having an affair with his urologist. Is it significant that it's a female doctor who will do the cutting? This comedy "bristles with satirical darts, mile-a-minute entrances and exits and madcap surrealism." The play moves back and forth in time.
