LAND OF THE DEAD

The 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival's
#1 Best Attended Show
August 2 - 10, 2008

London 1599. Shakespeare’s Henry V opens the Globe Playhouse,
but while the actors strut and fret, an excess of bile plagues the populace.
A true and accurate account of the Elizabethan zombie plague!

As flesh transformed Lycaon into raging beast,
these dead now awaken for one final feast.
Their bite brings affliction – wounds that don’t heal –
so sever their necks with thy good English steel.

Performed on the UofM Rarig Thrust Stage
