Death, with Benefits at Theatre 40

Death, with Benefits is a dark comedy inspired by the terribly true story of the infamous Killer Grannies of Santa Monica, also known as the Black Widows.Two mature ladies bond over the awful emotional and financial situations their deceased husbands have left them. To fix their predicaments, they concoct a pernicious get rich plan: Take in sickly men, get them to sign lavish life insurance policies with the women as beneficiaries, and care for them until they pass away. The only problem is that their guests are not passing away quickly enough, so the ladies decide to speed up the process.Written by John Strysik. Directed by Jeff G. Rack. Presented by Theatre 40.
