William Shakespeare's Land of the Dead

Genre: Comedy Characters: 9 males, 2 females (plus extras) Scenery: Interior Described as "a true and accurate account of the 1599 zombie invasion at the Globe Theatre", William Shakespeare's Land of the Dead explores the Elizabethan era of Shakespeare, Francis Bacon and Queen Elizabeth, all of whom are struggling to survive a zombie attack! In the midst of an argument in which Will Kemp is thrown out of the theater for refusing to acknowledge Falstaff's death in Henry V, a costume designer is mysteriously bitten by a zombie, thus causing all hell to break loose. As the Globe becomes a quarantine-zone in a zombie-riddled London, the characters must learn how to survive amongst both the undead and each other. "John Heimbuch's script is witty, clever, peppered with self-referential humor and wonderful wordplay on some of the Bard's best lines. - Brian Leehan, Minneapolis Star Tribune "If there's one show that deserves to be resurrected after the Fringe, it's John Heimbuch's brilliant and hilarious zombies-meet-Shakespeare epic ...If you know Shakespeare, you'll be roaring as the show lampoons everything about the Bard and ludicrously reuses famous lines while the heroes battle invading zombies ...MUST SEE." - Renee Valois, Saint Paul Pioneer Press
