George Is Dead

DC Arts Center
2438 18th Street NW Washington

In the comedy George Is Dead, Carla's holidays take an unexpected turn when her mother's zillionairess former employer, Doreen, shows up in the middle of the night to announce that her husband has been killed. But tensions mount and sympathies fade as Carla is reminded that Doreen could quite possibly be the most annoying, spoiled princess on earth. Written by Elaine May (who was in an improv comedy duo with legendary director Mike Nichols in the 1950s), the zippy, 60-minute gem of a play at Washington, DC's DC Arts Center was praised by the The New York Times as "a delicious study in the bliss of narcissism for those who can afford its more rarefied accoutrements."
