A Drop Dead Comedy by John Bishop Directed by BOBBIE SALTZMAN ABOUT THE SHOW: An ingenious and wildly comic romp which enjoyed a long and critically hailed run both on and Off-Broadway. Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the "Stage Door Slasher." "...a kind of crossbreeding of Charles Ludlam The Mystery of Irma Vep and Terrence McNally It's Only a Play seasoned with a soupcon of NOISES OFF." -- NY Times. "...enormous fun...Its strength comes in part from the sheer diamond wit and diamante showbiz glitter of Bishop's writing. Even his corn is succulently served." -- NY Post. "...Bishop gives us a nakedly silly and relentlessly convoluted murder-mystery plot, with twist piled on twist till you have to give way and start laughing at the silliness...it's hugely enjoyable." -- Village Voice. "MURDERS is the intelligent person's kind of nonsense." -- NY Magazine. Performance Dates April 20, 2004 at 7:00pm - Preview Night!
