Stiff

Angel Delight, the illegitimate daughter of a funeral parlour director, inherits the business when her father dies. Before she can sell the business and the land (which is much more valuable) she has to continue to run the business as a funeral parlour for a further five years. Unfortunately she knows nothing about the funeral business but a lot about prostitution.

Angel and her team of 'girls' (including an obsessive compulsive transvestite named Delilah) run an undercover massage parlour in the funeral home keeping up appearances despite the prying of a disgruntled former employee who felt he should have inherited the business.

Apart from the final scene, all the action takes place in a funeral parlour. There is a slightly raised landing upstage with a coffin in the centre on a table and the main entrance upstage left.

Downstage left there is another door to a chapel (later to become the dominatrix room) and down right is the door leading to the rest of the building including the kitchen, toilet, crematorium, etc. There is a large table on stage, a telephone table with a telephone, vases of flowers, and perhaps an organ or stereo.
