ABOUT THE SHOW:
A cast of has-been actors putting on cheap bad staged performance of an English Murder Mystery called Drop Dead , directed by egotistical Victor Le Pewe. At the dress rehearsal everything falls apart the actors don’t know their lines or entrances and oh yeah the real murders start. But that is show business the show must go on.
