Beating a Dead Horse
Play Description
Steve and Marty Martin are two brothers on the brink of closing their failing pet funeral home, “A Nice Farm Upstate with Plenty of Room to Run Around.” That is, until an eccentric, rich old lady offers them a fortune for the funeral of her nearly dead racehorse, Sir Trots-A-Lot. There’s only one problem: the horse won’t die.

“It’s rare that you come across such a non-stop funny show. From beginning to end, it’s just flat-out hilarious. The characters are fun, and the show is a great escape from pretty much everything right now.” —Chad Rabinovitz, The Herald Times
