EVERY BRIDE WANTS A KILLER WEDDING Weddingville, Washington, is in the throes of its annual bridal fair. For Daryl Anne Blessing, that means soothing the high-strung brides-to-be who have taken her family's dress shop by storm. Hunky photographer Seth Quinlan is around to provide eye candy and witty repartee-but it's no laughing matter when a diamond ring set disappears from the Ring Bearer Jewelers, followed by a designer gown from Blessing's Bridal Shop. Daryl Anne hopes the thefts are just the work of a prankster poking fun at the wedding fever that's overtaken the town. But Weddingville's shopkeepers can't afford for the bridal fair to lose its luster. Then business takes a dark turn when a bride is found dead in Flower Girl Shop's fridge. Now, with Weddingville's romantic reputation on the line, Daryl Anne and Seth turn up the heat on their own simmering attraction-and a killer determined to make bridezillas a dying breed . . .

Drawing on recent advances in historical knowledge, the author describes contemporary attitudes toward issues such as rebellion, conscience, regicide, incest, retribution, and mourning.

By understanding the play in its original terms, we find that it takes on new depth and power for our own time. Originally published in 1984.
