STAGE FRIGHTS - PART FOUR: LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD
Part four of the STAGE FRIGHTS series featuring LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD by Mike Brannon.
Doctor Necropolis and the hosts of Gather by the Ghost Light (Jonathan and Devon) continue to have the sacrificial candidates perform audio plays to see who will be chosen to be sacrificed. The next play to perform is called LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD. In the midst of a zombie apocalypse, we discover an awful truth - zombies stalk and kill humans because they lack any thoughts or emotions of their own. Eating the flesh allows them to feel again, to relive that slight bit of awareness of what it means to be human again. Knowing that truth - to what lengths would you be willing to go just to get a final chance to say goodbye?
Produced and directed by Jonathan Cook & Devon McSherry.
