ON THE FRINGE: The Undead

POSTED: Saturday, September 10, 2011, 11:00 AM

The Undead resists pop-culture zombie clichés while exploring not-quite-life after death. V.F. Zialcita’s “The Haunting” and Greg Romero’s “Dallas” are ethereally poetic, while Joy Cutler’s “The Frogg Prince” and Brian Grace-Duff’s “The Death Card” provide more conventional laughs. In “Working Stiffs,” Colleen Quinn presents her wickedly absurd corporate recruitment powerpoint, building hilarious horrors to a perfect final twist. Rick Horner’s zombie clown and Tom Tansey’s three roles leads a strong ensemble, and Matt and Melissa Dunphy’s "Up Your Cherry" wrap it all together wittily with zombie rock. Death isn’t the end!

Through Sept. 17, $15, Playground at the Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St., MORE INFO HERE.
