Synopsis
Corpse!
Published by Samuel French Ltd
3 Male 1 Female
Corpse! is set in London in 1936, and tells the story of twin brothers, one of whom plots to murder the other in the most unusual circumstances
Evelyn, an out of work actor, engages the genial Irishman Powell, with a shady past, to do away with his suave, sophisticated, monied twin
Their plotting in Evelyn's Aladdin's cave of a flat is punctuated by the visits of a delightfully theatrical landlady
As with most fool proof plans, things do not go as they should and people are not what they seem
Corpse! is not so much a whodunnit as a whodunnit to whom!
"Brilliant comedy thriller ... Vastly entertaining ... You may die laughing" ~ N.Y. Post
"There is always a warm welcome for superlative hokum and here it is by the bucketful. A wild, high camp comedy thriller ... a play where anything can happen ... and most of it does!" ~ London Daily Mail
