BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!

Laced with double-entendres and allusions to 1950s popular culture, DROP DEAD PERFECT is described by director Joe Brancato as “a madcap romp that celebrates and satirizes movie melodramas, with a nod to both Alfred Hitchcock and Carol Burnett.” This outlandish production is recommended for adults only—particularly those with a slightly twisted sense of humor.

DROP DEAD PERFECT follows Idris Seabright, played by Drama Desk Award winner Everett Quinton from the legendary Ridiculous Theatrical Company, a wealthy, eccentric mistress of a Key West cottage that runs her estate with a zany flair. When her beloved ward Vivien decides to abandon the Florida Keys to pursue art in Greenwich Village, and Idris’ lawyer Phineas Fenn becomes alarmingly interested in her investments, Idris’ life begins its outrageous downward spiral. After she receives a visit from a mysterious stranger who bears an undeniable resemblance to her long-lost love, her life erupts into over-the-top comic mayhem.

Reviews

You’ll never again look at a sandwich cookie in quite the same way — not after you see what happens to the ones served up in the seaside cottage of rich, dotty Idris Seabright. But don’t expect me to tell you why. The funniest lines and most outrageous moments in the new play at Penguin Rep Theater, Erasmus Fenn’s “Drop Dead Perfect,” can’t be properly described in a family newspaper.
