The two-act play can be seen on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. On Friday night, she returns as Mitzi, a Hungarian refugee, head cook and housekeeper in the Agatha Christie thriller “A Murder is Announced.” She said her character provides a bit of comic relief amid the other characters with more sober British personas.
