Oooh, I hadn't though of the wordplay. I like that Death's voice was performed by Ian Richardson who also played Francis Urqhart in House of Cards. The "I couldn't possibly comment" line was a reference back to that series. It cracks me up each time I see it.

I think I found the who wrote the plays movie at the library. I hadn't heard of it but knew Dad was into that kind of stuff so I checked it out. You were so right to give it a miss.
