At this point, Viola has made the rounds, quenching her thirst for flesh, and causing all hell to break loose in Illyria. Blood is flying everywhere, body parts are being removed and tossed around like softballs, and moans of "braiiinnnnsss" from the new zombies are heard everywhere. It's bloody mayhem and it's bloody good.

It is quite an ambitious undertaking to take a totally cinematic convention and transfer it to the stage. The Impetuous Theater Group is to be given high marks for meeting this challenge head on. While there is a lot of blood splattered in the play, much like Evil Dead: The Musical, none of the violence is meant to offend or even scare. It's all about the laughs for this production, and there are so many.

Each member of the ensemble cast is top notch, all looking like they're having the time of their lives, but favorites are definitely Timothy J. Cox and Benjamin Ellis Fine, driving the show with superlative comic performances as Sir Toby (he also has the play's most memorable death scene) and Sir Andrew, respectively.

Erin Jerozal also scores as a humorous Maria, and so does Larry Giantonio as an amusingly half-baked Feste. Lindsay Wolf, in the physically demanding role of Viola the zombie, is also to be commended.

Director Hurley keeps the show moving at a rapid fire pace with much of the dialogue overlapping and the action constant. Rachel Gordon's set is appropriately gloomy, while Lilli Rhiger's flamboyant costumes add to the ridiculousness of it all. The make up and special effects design, provided by Alley Getz and Janet Zarecor, is also quite vivid.

The show is one you don't want to miss because it has something for everyone. 12th Night of the Living Dead runs at CSV until November 10th. Please visit the Impetuous Theater Group for tickets and information.
