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, her life begins its outrageous downward spiral. After receiving 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.

DROP DEAD PERFECT is the ideal vehicle to showcase the talents of 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.

The adults-only show is laced with double-entendres and homages to 1950s television and Hollywood melodramas. With absurd situations, this over-the-top production is recommended for those who possess a slightly twisted sense of humor and appreciation of slapstick TV comedies such as I Love Lucy and camp horror such as Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte.

Jason Cruz, Jason Edward Cook, and Timothy C. Goodwin join Everett Quinton in DROP DEAD PERFECT. Choreography is by Lorna Ventura. Sets are by James J. Fenton, with lighting by Ed McCarthy, costumes by Charlotte Palmer-Lane and sound by William Neal.
