The third play, The Fatal Message, is a murder mystery that takes place in a hotel room. The final play, The Deluge, is a satire about a group of people who try to survive a flood by building an ark. Each play is filled with witty dialogue, absurd situations, and unforgettable characters. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves comedy and wants to have a good laugh.Perkins (doubtfully).
