William Shakespeare fights zombies. Need we say more? A true and accurate account of the 1599 zombie plague that spread to the Globe playhouse, William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead mixes humorous horror conventions with meticulously researched characters and events from Shakespeare’s life. A joyous experience for Shakespeare lovers and zombie fans alike, LOTD mixes genres with a knowing wink. To eat or not to eat brains… that is the question!
