Synopsis
As a thespian who has lived and worked in theatre literally since the womb, it is the only life Richard St. Croix knows. But dedication gets tested when an actor suffers a bizarre psychotic break during a dress rehearsal of Macbeth. With only his wits and the works of Shakespeare to guide him, Richard presses on to make certain his play succeeds - no matter what the cost. "Play Dead" is a comedy that deals with the darker side of creativity and the sacrifices which ensure that true art never dies.
