From Paula Smith:
This one went through the most revisions, right down to about an hour before showtime. As has been noted elsewhere, it ain't easy "to hint at great passion without using sex." Instead, we had TACS' gimungous cartoons, and they were funnier than sex. Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case with props, I managed to lose Carol Davis's favorite towel. If anyone happens to find it, could you return it? [1]

Fan Comments
The play was a spoof of Murder on San Carmelitas and the highlights were Anita Raj as Dobey and Terri Beckett as "Bent Outta Shape". [2]
After the awards, Paula Smith/K'zoo presented another one of her marvelous take-offs. This one was Murder on San Carmelapples. I'm sure I misspelled that, but I didn't miss a bit of the fun (or dialog, thanks to my new in-the-ear-hearing aids!) and got lots of pictures. Paula was Hutch, of course. Pat Massie (who had just done a stand-up comic routine for us) played a reluctant Starsky. For international flavor, Terri Beckett was a leering photographer and Chris Power, another British writer, played one of the island's gay blades. Lucy Walk looked sexy in her maid's costume. There goes my memory again, another blank. Sure hope someone else lists the rest of the cast. Were the New Zealanders in it? [3]
