Living people do the strangest things in cemeteries. A comic-drama in 2 acts, this "Dance of Death" will make you laugh, weep, and shiver in your seat. Set in a graveyard outside of Buffalo, NY, these October tales include a teenage vandal who must pay the price for disturbing the dead, two old ladies hopelessly lost in a cemetery trying to find the funeral of a friend before it's too late. Also, a priest never shows for a funeral and a dimwitted caretaker must officiate; a woman finds seven strangers mourning at her husband's grave, each with a secret; the last of triplets must come to terms with the reflection she sees in her mirror; plus many more. The first act has 9 skits and the second act has 7. Skits may be produced individually or in various combinations.

Danse Macabre was originally produced by Starry Night Theatre, Inc. at the Ghostlight Theatre in North Tonawanda, New York, in October, 2001, directed by author Don Swartz. An excellent video is available which is perhaps the most unusual (and therefore very exciting) script we have ever published. We feel its possibilities are limitless.

Set in a cemetery using green carpet for grass and 2 benches; tombstones are imaginary; modern clothes.
