Description

The_Weird_Final_Front_8x6THE WEIRD is a collection of six short pulp plays that riff on classic horror movies, urban legends, and comic book characters. They are linked together by themes of trust and the nature of relationships.  Each short play takes archetypal characters from these well-known tales of terror and fantasy and throws them into more turmoil than the original creators could ever have imagined.  In The Ten Minute Play About Rosemary's Baby,Rosemary must cope very quickly with her husband's betrayal while carrying the spawn of Satan.  Insect Love teaches us that mad scientists have a difficult time asking people out too.  Morning Becomes Olestra is a cautionary tale for any woman considering cheating on her husband, especially with a vampire.  Anything can happen when the horrors of love are mixed up with the horrors of the supernatural, but one thing is for sure, no one is going to make it out alive.

Cast: Matthew Cohn, Lucky Gretzinger, Allison Hirschlag*, Melissa Pinsly, Mark Rosenthal and Mark Stetson
