A lone figure stepped into a pool of light as sultry film noir music played. A private eye, a vindictive criminal, and an eccentric cast of characters caught in a web of crime delivered laughs and a surprise ending at Falls Church High School in their production of “No Crime Like the Present.”
The show, a farce of the film noir “whodunits” of the late 1940s and 50s, was written by Bill Gleason. Melodrama features prominently as part of the show’s purpose – to poke fun at the stereotypical black-and-white film noirs and lighten the mood with slapstick humor and a ridiculous ending that no one saw coming.
