WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Vital Theatre Company is proud to present Sam Bobrick's Death in England. The show, embodying all the characteristics of classic British farce, tells the story of Death, personified by a handsome young man, who is mysteriously usurped of his powers as he tries to "undertake" a wealthy sanitarium owner. It is up to an inspector, a wife, a maid, a hooker, and the inexplicable appearance of Life himself to solve the mystery.
