It’s not necessarily Halloween-related, but the timing is sublime for a comedy of murderous intent set in 1936 London. Woolfe Street’s Cabaret-style theater is one of our favorites in town.

Corpse! is set in London in 1936, and tells the story of twin brothers, one of whom plots to murder the other in the most unusual circumstances

Evelyn, an out of work actor, engages the genial Irishman Powell, with a shady past, to do away with his suave, sophisticated, monied twin.Their plotting in Evelyn’s Aladdin’s cave of a flat is punctuated by the visits of a delightfully theatrical landlady. As with most fool proof plans, things do not go as they should and people are not what they seem!

Corpse! is not so much a whodunnit as a whodunnit to whom!

“Brilliant comedy thriller … Vastly entertaining … You may die laughing” ~ N.Y. Post

“The play is wheels within wheels, executed with quartz accuracy. The sparkling, ingenious plot twists and turns like a bent, but plucky corkscrew. You’ll die laughing.”
