THE RED DEATH – A HORROR SCRIPT SET IN A THEATRE
A drama group are meeting for the dress rehearsal of their production of “The Masque of The Red Death” based on E.A. Poe’s story while a real pandemic rages outside. Some of them have doubts – with thousands of people infected, should they allow the show to go on? Are they safe in the theatre? So far, all the actors appear to be all right. So, despite doubts and worries, they decide that the show must go on, but little do they know that the story about The Red Death is a true one – he is very real and nothing can protect them now. A horror script set in a theatre.
