Dubhna and Caledonia bring Terry Pratchett's ghoulish romp to life in an encore of their 2012 presentation.
Death has been told he has lost his job, because he
has been showing disturbing indications of individuality. The Auditors, who
appear as grey floating faceless figures, have therefore appealed to Azrael
himself to banish Death and allow a new Death to take his place, who will
emerge after a period of … readjustment.
Death then becomes subject to his own death, he is
given a lifespan, in the form of a timer, to live out as he sees fit. He and
his horse, Binky, must come to live as mortals in the world. He takes on the
identity of Bill Door, working on a certain Miss Flitworth's farm, and begins
to learn what it is to be human, and to fear death. This is not to say he
actually is human, or even resembles one. Meanwhile with no Death in the world
strange things began to happen.
@ 7PM - AMBROSE BIERCE: The Way of Ghosts
Ambrose Bierce is renowned for his ghost and war stories from the mid-1800's. He wrote from his own experiences, and those related to him by people he encountered in his travels. His end is as intriguing as his books. In 1913, he went on a tour of old Civil War battlegrounds and vanished without a trace. His disappearance remains an unsolved mystery to this day.
