Post Mortem at the Flea Theater

Flea Theater presents the World Premiere of A.R. Gurney's new comedy Post Mortem, opening at the Flea Theater on the 2 Nov 2006, following previews from 18 Oct and running through to 9 Dec 2006.

Post Mortem is set in the not-too-distant future when the Christian Right hold sway. Alice, a lowly lecturer in drama at a faith-based state university in the Midwest, and Dexter, an enthusiastic student more interested in his teacher than the theater, become embroiled in the discovery of a play by an obscure late 20th century playwright named A.R. Gurney. When the authorities destroy the script, these two must piece together the play and with it the future of the world gone mad.

Directed by Jim Simpson, Post Mortem features Tina Benko, Christopher Kromer and Shannon Burkett.

Set design by Mimi Lien, with costumes by Claudia Brown and lighting by Brian Aldous.
