Seattle Rep's The Murderers is three monologues, one after the other, that thankfully get more entertaining as the show goes along.

Seattle Rep’s 2007-2008 season in the Bagley Wright Theatre begins with Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Twelfth Night, followed by a powerful play about the Cuban revolution, The Cook by Eduardo Machado.
