Inside the Actor's Mausoleum
As a service to our friends across the pond, we wanted to give notice of a casting call in London. If you are dead, or plan to die before May 11, and would like to be in the premiere of a new show called "Dead: You Will Be," please get in touch with 1157performancegroup.
The theater troupe is looking for a corpse to star in the show, which will run for 24 nights. They hope to challenge taboos about death by... making people stare at a corpse for two hours, we guess. Hrm.
Of course, if you asked that Philosophical Counselor guy about your fear of death, he'd probably tell you that Heidegger called death "Da-sein's ownmost nonrelational possibility not-too-be-bypassed." And who needs theater when you've got Heidegger, right?
This reminds us. Isn't it about damn time for a new season of Six Feet Under? Come on, people! The Sopranos are great and everything, but we need our post-Sports Night Peter Krause fix real bad.
