Philosophical Zombie Killers

Sandbox Artists Collective, with generous support from 4Culture, presents a public reading of the very first draft of Paul Mullin's new play PHILOSOPHICAL ZOMBIE KILLERS, featuring the acting talents of:

Susanna Burney
William Salyers
and John Q. Smith

and narration by Amy Love.

Mullin's new play theatrically explores recent scientific and philosophical investigations of human consciousness.

Feedback from this reading will be incorporated into future drafts and a fully staged workshop production some time in 2013.

Synopsis:

The graduate level seminar is about human consciousness. Or at least that's what you thought when you signed up for it. Now someone's telling you that you're 45 years old and that you're dying. You certainly didn't sign up for that. Now this alcoholic professor is asking you to explain consciousness to him. And this depressed ex-cop from Missouri is telling you about the epidemic of decapitations in Seattle. And this weird lady from Omnisoft just wants you to admit that there's no such thing as consciousness and no such thing as you for that matter. Could she possibly be right? Might make dying easier. Who said you were dying?
