Erasmus Fenn's Drop Dead Perfect Will Return Off-Broadway, Starring Everett Quinton

After a madcap run off-Broadway last year, Drop Dead Perfect will return to New York City, once again starring Everett Quinton. Directed by Joe Brancato and written by Erasmus Fenn, the adults-only comedy will play a limited eight-week engagement from August 19 at Theatre at St. Clements. Opening night is scheduled for August 23.

Drop Dead Perfect follows Idris Seabright (Quinton), a wealthy, eccentric mistress of a Key West cottage who runs her estate with a zany flair. When her beloved ward Vivien decides to abandon the Florida Keys to pursue art in Greenwich Village and Idris’ lawyer becomes alarmingly interested in her investments, Idris’ life begins its outrageous downward spiral. After she receives a visit from a mysterious stranger bearing an undeniable resemblance to her long-lost love, she becomes unhinged and her life erupts into over-the-top comic mayhem.

The cast will also include Jason Cruz, Jason Edward Cook and Timothy C. Goodwin.

Drop Dead Perfect will feature choreography by Lorna Ventura, sets by James J. Fenton, lighting by Ed McCarthy, costumes by Charlotte Palmer-Lane and sound by William Neal.
