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
