New York City’s Impetuous Theater Group will be performing 12th Night of the Living Dead by William Shakespeare, adapted by Brian MacInnis Smallwood.
“What happens when one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies meets George Romero’s seminal zombie-filled horror flick Night of the Living Dead? When a strange meteor smashes into a ship en route to Illyria, the bodies pile up as fast as the romantic complications. Will true love prevail? Can a zombie be made to understand the affairs of the heart, without eating it? Or will the fools of Illyria never live to see another dawn?”
Directed by John Hurley and stage managed by Sarah Locke, the show will feature the acting talents of Timothy J. Cox, Reyna De Courcy, Neimah Djourachi, Ben Fine, Larry Giantonio, Erin Jerozal, Tom Knutson, Joe Mathers, Shashannah Newman, Alex Pappas, Jason Paradine, Will Schminke, CL Weatherstone, Lindsay Wolf, and Aaron Zook.
Sixteen performances are scheduled between 25 October and 10 November, at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center’s La Tea Theater, 107 Suffolk Street, New York, New York 10002. Tickets are $18, and are available on line or by calling 800-838-3006.
