Perfect Crime

Running over 20 years off-Broadway -  this is one mystery I simply cannot solve! It's complicated, confusing, and to get it in under 2 hours the pace is too quick and the actors so familiar with the parts they are like robots barking lines on stage without much effort.  At it's core, it's a confusing murder mystery Angela Lansbury might even give up on.  If there's one thing it's big on - it's soap opera "acting".  Was it given a life-estate in the Snapple Theatre?  Did a millionaire generously endow it?  Is it a mafioso money laundering front?  These are the only explanations to it's longevity I can come up with because there is no way it could have anything to do with the plot or the acting.
