“Remember the
excitement of each new production from the Ridiculous Theatrical Company? The
company would offer a riff on a classic, shot through with enough satire to
stand on its own. Vampire Cowboys Theater Company is channeling that energy in
LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK, the hilarious and witty new play by Qui Nguyen. Nguyen,
like Charles Ludlam before him, knows his Shakespeare. Using HAMLET as a
jumping-off point, Nguyen throws in martial arts, horror movies, pop songs,
puppetry, and comic books. Eat your heart out, Ed Wood…. A Backstage
Critic’s Pick!
Victor Gluck, Backstage
“Qui Nguyen’s comic
book fantasia on Bardic themes takes characters from the main tragedies and
throws them into an us-versus-zombies apocalyptic scenario, with enough
rock-accompanied stage combat to keep an Elizabethan groundling satisfied. This
gamely trashy treat is a perfect storm of theater―and horror―geek obsessions.”
