A giddy Victorian farce of mistaken corpses and bumbling schemers, played with deadpan relish and escalating chaos that keeps you grinning.

How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and dark. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Greed, family, deception, death
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
