Idris Seabright (Obie and Drama Desk Award winner Everett Quinton) is the mistress of a Key West estate. To call Idris eccentric is understating the wealthy, wanna-be artist’s daffy disorder. With a penchant for stillness, she rules her estate with the assistance of her treasured dependent Vivien (Jason Edward Cook) and her lawyer (Timothy C. Goodwin). When her long-lost nephew Ricardo (Jason Cruz) drops in for a surprise visit, this dysfunctional household is accelerated into total hysterical chaos.

To present you with a plot for DROP DEAD PERFECT would be useless because the twists and turns have little to do with the entertainment of this work. This is an over-the-top frantic farce with adult humor full of rampant sexual innuendos. The hilarity is punctuated by characters that are reminiscent of 1950’s television personalities, choreography designed by Lorna Ventura to produce chuckles and chortles, and absurd situations that demand you laugh out loud. Playwright Erasmus Fenn pulled out all the stops on this one, and Director Joe Brancato keeps one step ahead of the insanity. DROP DEAD PERFECT is a nonstop 90-minute comedy so jam-packed with clever concepts that you immediately want to see it again to make sure you didn’t miss anything. Go and enjoy.
