About the play...
In this hilarious farce a writer rents a quiet place in the New England countryside. Murder, mayhem and a country setting define this delightful comedy. All this famous mystery writer and her secretary want is a retreat to the country for a little rest and relaxation, but she gets more than she bargained for when a body she finds in the closet promptly disappears only to be succeeded by another. Mix in her wise-cracking secretary, the housekeeper, her crooked boyfriend, and a hilarious cast of characters and mystery and comedy reach a high peak. What follows is the hunt to find the body, identify the killer, locate stolen diamonds, and find out which one of the characters will be the next victim. Exit The Body is for the whole family and is sure to leave everyone roaring with laughter!
