A young flower seller is found dead in her room at a Brighton boarding house, posed with chilling perfection into a recreation of a famous painting of the death of Lady Jane Grey.

Tarnishing the experience. though, is one of the other acts: a seedy living tableaux show where barely-dressed women strike poses from famous historical scenes.
