WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S LAND OF THE DEAD - TheaterWorks - March 31-April 23, 2023



 
McMillin Theater

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

As the plague spreads through London, the Globe is placed in quarantine and the survivors within must fight for their lives. Can they escape? Is there a cure? Is artistic integrity ever worth dying for? This show is for mature audiences only.

“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!

During 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, 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

John Heimbuch’s brilliant and hilarious zombies-meet-Shakespeare is an epic show- watch out for the “splash zone.”
