Evelyn grows more menacing, taking on an Anthony Perkins quality. There's also a plot twist involving Major Powell that is well executed. Unfortunately, those come too late. The first half drags. Evelyn and Major Powell give wandering monologues.
British accents serve to make dull speeches even more confusing.
Plus, neither character is very likable. It's hard to enjoy a play when there's no one to root for. Corpse is billed as a mystery comedy. Yet, sparse jokes mostly miss. I guess it's supposed to be funny that Evelyn is gay.
