THE LAST SUPPER
A new play by David Simpatico

The guests are late, the grid is on the fritz, and sirens blast out dire warnings of impending doom as recently deceased corpses rise from the grave as UNDEAD CANNIBALS, devouring  humans and spreading the ZOMBIE VIRUS. The desperate survivors band together in the flux of what’s real and unreal, fighting for their lives against the undead, against the machines, and against each other. This aggressive black comedy explores the Great Replacement Theory to its logical, self-destructive ends.

Pencil this in! Sunday, Dec 18, 3PM: a reading of WILDE ABOUT WHITMAN, with Steven Patterson as Walt Whitman, and Joshuah Patriarco as Oscar Wilde, directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga.

“On January 18, 1882, the young, untested wannabe-writer Oscar Wilde, 27, and the elder-poet-pauper Walt Whitman, 62, spent three hours together behind closed doors in Whitman’s home in Camden, New Jersey. WILDE ABOUT WHITMAN is the story, equal parts historical record and theatrical conjecture, of what they might have said, and done, behind those closed doors.”

This is a work-in-progress, the opening of a larger vaudeville about the end of the world. I wrote it, recorded it on my computer, sent it over to the UK where my brilliant partner Will Todd composed the underscoring over night. Let me know what you think.
