Beating a Dead Horse
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.
Beating a Dead Horse is the recipient of the 2017 Reva Shiner Comedy Award, and was originally produced at the Bloomington Playwrights Project, with multiple productions across the country.
Beating a Dead Horse is available for licensing through Broadway Play Publishing.
“It's rare that you come across such a nonstop 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, Herald Times
”For theatregoers who like to laugh and think, Beating a Dead Horse is a winner...the audience is roaring.”
