“Devereaux” is a melodramatic comedy. Its characters are stereotypical, have exaggerated emotions and language, simplistic morality — and they sing. “Lotta Cash,” for example, is a rich hospital owner who ignorantly blurts out in public that she doesn’t carry more that $10,000 in cash at a time.
The play is set in a hospital owned by the rich widow Lotta Cash. The evil Dogsbreath Devereaux, M.D., plans to marry Cash so he can inherit her fortune and her late husband’s hospital. But he secretly tells his nurse and partner in crime, Hilda Hatchet, that he will wed her after he gets rid of Cash.
When Devereaux and Hatchet discover another nurse eavesdropping on their diabolical plan, they plan to kill the nurse and, soon, everyone else on the hospital staff.
