DROP DEAD PERFECT is the ideal vehicle to showcase the talents of the Everett Quinton. The show’s Off-Broadway run coincides with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Theatre of the Ridiculous, the wildly creative theatrical genre that led to the establishment of The Ridiculous Theatrical Company.

DROP DEAD PERFECT follows Idris Seabright, played by 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 running time for this comedy is 90 minutes with no intermission.
