In Development is a new play development series where new works by local artists are developed with a director and actors before they are read to a live audience.
This spring Fearless will present a new play by Brian James Polak. Come hear a reading of this work and then share your thoughts with the writer afterwards.
The Gravediggers Union
Written by Brian James Polak
Directed by Kevin T. Houle
Synopsis
A group of people work at a cemetery in the fictional Ashworth, New Hampshire… some wishing they were elsewhere, others perfectly happy to be miserable where they are. They all work together digging holes and passing the time. When the Walmart of cemeteries opens across the street everybody begins to worry about losing their jobs. So they plan to put on a play to raise money to buy the cemetery themselves. The only problem is nobody goes to plays anymore…
