Synopsis
Marian Thorncraft is looking forward to her honeymoon with new hubby, Tyler. She pictures someplace romantic, secluded and cozy. No sooner have her feet touched the ground after being carried over the threshold than she discovers her love nest is really a one-time mortuary! Graveside Manor, as the locals call it, has been abandoned for years, mainly due to the rumors of it being haunted. Cozy as a bat cave, it's about as secluded as Grand Central Station. A daffy maid shows up to clean the place and gets lost in the catacombs behind the walls. This goes unnoticed because Tyler is too busy ducking a female ghost with a hatchet, three high-school kids trying to set up a Halloween prank and his wise-cracking female editor who once had a crush on him. Throw in an absent-minded cop and the escaped lunatic he's looking for and the stage is set for a Honeymoon at Graveside Manor.

Customer Reviews
- "This script was perfect for my group of high school thespians; cast size, set, costumes etc. Everything was PERFECT! It was well received by our staff, students and community. I love it when all the "boxes" are checked! I highly recommend this script to smaller high school theatre groups. It's funny, clever, and just the right mix of farce and drama. It challenged my group of players as well as the tech crew!"
