Exit the Body
By Fred Carmichael
Under authority of Samuel French, Inc. NY, NY, USA.
A mystery writer rents a New England house that is the rendezvous
point for some jewel thieves. The focal point of the set is the closet
which opens into a living room and a library. A body found in the
closet promptly disappears only to be succeeded by another. The hunt
for the jewels reaches a climax at two A.M. when four couples unknown
to each other turn up to search. Not since the days of Mack Sennett
has there been such an hilarious series of entrances and exits.
"Hilarious, delicious, uproarious, hysterical.... [The] audience,
howled, guffawed, and applauded." Bennington Banner.
"Never have tears of laughter flowed so freely." Rutland Herald.
"Exit The Body" follows the adventures of a woman mystery writer who
rents a New England house which is supposed to be the rendezvous point
for some stolen jewels. The focal point of the set is the closet which
opens into both a living room and a library. In the closet, a body is
discovered which promptly disappears; only to be succeeded by a second
body. The hunt for the jewels reaches a climax at two AM when four
couples, all unknown to each other, turn up to search. What ensues is
a hilarious series of entrances and exits. From the opening laugh to
the final line, "Exit The Body" is guaranteed to make even the most
staid audience cry with laughter. Directed by Buzz Powers.
