Irascible author Algy Waterbridge is hard at work on his thirty-third crime novel.
While Algy’s wife is getting more forgetful, and his PA frequently oversteps the mark, the constant interruptions come to a head with an unfortunate newspaper interview. As Algy’s fictional characters take over, the lines between fiction and reality become blurred.
A comedy of confusion about a grumpy old man who might not be so grumpy after all.
Premiere Production:
Better Off Dead was first performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in the Round auditorium on 11 September, 2018.
