Synopsis

As the saying goes, "All the world's a stage," and it couldn't be more true of a group of actors living life as though it were part of a play … oh wait, it is … is that in the script? Did he really just do that?! Stars of the stage and screen, Alex and Lynn are unhappily married; Alex loves Jane, but Jane is Herbert's girlfriend; and Herbert wrote the play that Alex and Lynn are starring in with hopes of making a triumphant comeback to the stage. Add in a confused gardener and a stage manager trying to keep things in order, and you have a recipe for disaster with a dash of love, a sprinkle of loathing, a splash of suspicion and one dead body. And the critics are in the audience.

Customer Reviews

This show was a big hit with our audiences. We sold out 4 of the 7 performances. The actors also enjoyed the performances and characters they got to play. Hal, the gardener/maid/policewoman stole the show every time. Thank you for providing us with a comedy perfect for our small stage!

Hints, Tips, and Tricks

DOORS DOORS DOORS!. what is a farce without good door work? We worked especially hard on our timing and usage of doors and it paid off with consistent laughter. Such a fun show to produce.
