In “You Have the Right to Remain Dead,” narrator Harnell Chesterton takes us to visit a small community theater group staging a play set in the Deep South. The play’s characters are all in an uproar because Fat Daddy, the patriarch of the family, is about to change his will. Is Fat Daddy the target of the killer? Is his wife, Sweet Mamma, looking to do him in? Or is it his son Earl, daughter-in-law Savannah or daughter Hyacinth? Maybe it’s the hired hand Clete! But, wait — is it really Fat Daddy who is dead? Just wait until local police sleuth Officer Bainbridge begins his investigation!
Character Descriptions*:
Harnell Chesterton - a pompous narrator, around 40,
a man without an unexpressed thought
Officer Bainbridge - a long-suffering police detective, 30s
Blanch LaToure - a rather frazzled director, 30s
Arnold Turnbull/Fat Daddy - a large man, 40s
Doris Turnbull/Sweet Mama - a selfish actress, 40s
Lois Jacobsen/Savannah/Man 1 - a coltish woman, late 20s
Steve Randall/Earl/Man 2 - a newcomer to the group, 20s
Leigh Dorsett/Hyacinth - business-like, 20s
Ajax Conroy/Clete/Man 3 - not too bright, 20s
Trudy Marsh -the ultimate "techie", a teenager
