Imagine this: You glide into your bathroom to brush your teeth. Instead, you discover a body in your bath. A naked one, wearing nothing but pince-nez, those nose-pinching glasses popular in the 19th century.
It's the mystery that grips Lord Peter Wimsey in Dorothy L. Sayers' first detective novel, "Whose Body?"
Tucson playwright/actress Joan O'Dwyer has given that novel its first adaptation, switching the title to "The Body in the Bath." It's on stage now at Beowulf Alley Theatre.
