A medieval allegory unfolds as a mystical Voodoo Body Snatcher arrives at the occult after-life bar on a mission to execute a psychiatrist committed to his personal bedlam. The anti-hero and his Mad-Hatter co-conspirators are entangled in a perverse political hoopla as they fight for their survival in the face of the mighty Grim Reaper’s Sickle.
Two one-act plays by Sophia Romma at the Cherry Lane Theater examine relationships that span cultures. Presented by the Negro Ensemble Company and directed by Charles Weldon.
