         Etiquette Of Death, The         Have I Got A Girl For You: The Frankenstein Musical
Etiquette Of Death, The

Synopsis:
Death is a messy and terrifying horror. Or, it can be a quiet, unapologetic thief in the night. For the past twenty-five years living in the East Village Chris Tanner has been surrounded by death. He's obsessed with how the dying and those who love them behave in the face of it. When you explore the artifice and manners that surround this unruly journey - the etiquette of death - the outcome can be absurd, paradoxical, wrenching, and at times, hilarious. He's asked a group of artists he admires to help him put together a collage of scenes, songs, poetry, music and dance that explores the Etiquette of Death.
