Die, Mommie Die

Die, Mommie, Die! by Charles Busch is a campy, melodramatic parody of 1960s Hollywood thrillers, following a washed-up movie star desperate to escape her suffocating marriage and rekindle passion with her younger lover. When her husband uncovers the affair, a chain of deceit, murder, and family betrayal unfolds. Blending farce, drag performance, and noir-inspired intrigue, the play serves as a darkly comic homage to the glamour, scandal, and excess of old Hollywood melodrama.
