About FRANCIS GREY
Francis Grey and his colleagues, nemeses, and acquaintances that you meet in the plays starring Francis Grey are all original characters created by Nathan Tylutki. The world Francis and his cohort live in look and sound a lot like the one that exists in the day to day we are experiencing, however the situations in the plays are often heightened and a bit and a bit outlandish— although, these days it’s hard to say which is more absurd. Truth is feeling stranger than fiction every day.
In the first installment of the saga, ONE-MAN WHODUNNIT: The Tale of Francis Grey and the Case of His Dead Boyfriend, the self-proclaimed private investigator’s boyfriend is murdered on the eve of his birthday; grief quickly gives way to curiosity—and then to obsession. Determined to uncover the truth, Francis launches his own not-so-official investigation, only to find himself entangled in a web of secrets, lies, and family drama. ONE-MAN WHODUNNIT is an audaciously cheeky one-man whodunnit, Francis takes on every role—from the deeply flawed to the deeply suspicious—as he pieces together a mystery that’s as twisted as it is hilarious. With everyone a suspect and nothing as it seems, just how far will Francis go in his topsy-turvy quest for the truth?
About ONE-MAN EXORCISM
In the chilling aftermath of ONE-MAN WHODUNNIT: The Tale of Francis Grey and the Case of His Dead Boyfriend, the shadows of Mistyfield Hospital for the Criminally Insane loom ominously. Rebecca, ensnared within its cold, echoing walls for her sinister attempt to end Jimmy’s life, leaves Francis with a sense of fleeting respite. His peace is shattered by the haunting realization of Rebecca’s decades-long scheme to unravel his existence. As Francis steps into the hospital’s dimly lit corridors, he encounters not just the twisted remnants of his former friend, but a malevolent entity—a centuries-old demon, its eyes gleaming with a promise of eternal torment. Desperate to save his life and soul from this dark force, Francis must confront the demon that now inhabits Rebecca, questioning his own sanity as he whispers, “What would Buffy do?”
