“Eat the world. It's begging to be reborn...”
"[Coates and Neel] find a way to make zombies new again" - Winnipeg Free Press
What is THE DEATH OF BRIAN?
It's a solo show about the epic journey of a zombie. But it's more than that. It's as if a radio drama and physical theater had a baby.
It's a new perspective on the zombie era and the zombie itself. It's got puppets, philosophy, sci-fi references, fights, blood, sex, and dark laughs.
A ZOMBIE ODYSSEY (episode one):
After a car wreck, Brian Smith reluctantly finds himself on an epic quest to find his wife. His journey, however, is plagued with questions: What is happening to his body? Who is this mysterious voice? What is Humanity? And why does everyone say he's dead?
IDES OF UNDEAD MARCH (episode two):
The zombie uprising meets ‘Julius Caesar’ in this new chapter! Brian S. reappears as the Prophet of the Phoenix, spreading the Word of the Host. Unfortunately, his pilgrimage is proving dangerously infectious...
