Writer and director Luke H. Walker presents THEWAKE OF DICKJOHNSON, an immersive, intimate setting of an authentic wake where the deceased returns to the living to explain the grim realities we all encounter in the after-life.
QC Nerve describes the immersive show as “an eloquent and upsetting rumination on a meaningless universe where even death will not relieve the pain of the living.” Broadway World called the show “graphic,” “grotesque,” and “alarming”. Time Out NY selected The Wake of Dick Johnson as it’s top-13 Halloween theater events. Following the Hollywood Fringe festival, this show is slated for a full Los Angeles run in the fall.
