The Brain That Wouldn’t Die is a loose comedic adaptation of the 1962 cult-classic horror film of the same name. A surgeon named Jan desires more than anything to be recognized for her intellect rather than her beauty, a wish that takes an ironic turn when she is decapitated in a car accident. Her mad scientist husband, Bill, manages to bring her head back to life, setting in motion a 72-hour race against time to find her a new body. The show is a darkly hilarious, sci-fi spectacle featuring a soaring retro-modern score, an unstoppable disembodied heroine, and a sharp, satirical take on identity, autonomy, and the absurd pursuit of perfection.
