Public theatre continues to return to the Guyanese stage and there have been different types of productions in an interesting variety of venues. Among the most recent was the second play to appear in the post-COVID season at the Theatre Guild Playhouse – Nothing to Die For, an American comedy, by Michael Miller, who uses the popular sobriquet Sasha Miller. It was directed by Russel Lancaster and produced by Lancaster and Andre Wiltshire.
The playwright’s intention was clearly comedy, though he created a thriller, using high drama and suspense, and something akin to a parody of the play within a play. It treats a potentially funny situation in a plot with high dramatic potential; interesting, but not original.
