Murder and menace are served up with a healthy helping of pasta and laughter during Breaking Legs, the first Merc Playhouse show of 2020! The worlds of the Mafia and the Theatre clash hilariously when a professorial playwright seeks funding for his new play from the family of a former student - a family that turns out to be minor Mafia godfathers. The fact that the lusty, unwed daughter of the house falls in love with the playwright only complicates things further, as the playwright has to decide what "offers" he truly "can't refuse"!
