A mortician falls in love with a man as she prepares his corpse for burial. She has three days until the funeral… but three days just isn’t enough. The creators of Edgar Allan (recipient of the 2015 Full Frontal Pick of the Fringe) return with a gothic rock opera inspired by the notorious 1978 interview with necrophile Karen Greenlee. “The musical staging is endlessly inventive, Katie Hartman’s voice is a remarkable instrument.” -Minnesota Playlist. 50 minutes.
