Red Herring opens on a masquerade party that quickly turns into a night of chaos, deception and murder. As six guests gather under mysterious pseudonyms, their secrets and eccentricities begin to unravel. This student-written play is a parody of the murder mystery genre inspired by famous stories such as Sherlock Holmes and Murder on the Orient Express. As the storm rages outside, the guests must uncover the truth before they become the next victim! Leaving the question of Whodunnit?
