The Night of the Jakal

I was inspired by a young director to write a play. I thought of maybe a “Who done it?” type. Of course, the first name that came from my mind was Agatha Christie, the most thrilling, exciting murder mystery of all. This play starts with an average high school student with average means and rich-boy appetite. This young man was dating the only daughter of a wealthy businessman. The news of this union was received reluctantly by the community. Furthermore, the groom would not find work. The father of the bride gave them a business as their wedding present. Linda had wanted to be the perfect wife and mother; however, after so many failures, she and Victor decided to adopt a baby boy. They named him Carlos. She became completely absurd being a wife to Victor, and mainly under all the circumstances, he started having affairs morning and night. He neglected his business, and Lupe hired her brother, who took the mistress to the ground. While Victor was having flings with women, gambling, and drugs, he did a major mistake in his life. This mistake bound him to Lupe. He started receiving threatening phone calls. His life was a fiasco with no solutions. His life was tragically terminated! He had created so many enemies. Was it a male or a female? Was it a crime of passion, jealousy, or revenge? Who did it?
