Dead body wanted to star in play (yes, really)!

:eek:

Can everyone say “cheap publicity stunt”?

Thought so.

At last! A role suitable for Keanu Reeves’ great acting range.

No, no - Keith Richards.

Dave Barry already played a dead body in Gianni Schichi (sp?) for the Portland (OR) Opera. Interesting column, especially when they dumped him upside down half on the bed, half on the floor.

But yeah, this is a bit over the line for my tastes.
