About this event
The GRAND - Flanagan Theatre. Christopher Walken is wickedly funny as a foul-mouthed mortician whose funeral home is facing an unexpected problem: the healthy residents of his sleepy small town simply aren’t dying fast enough.In Ron Murphy’s deliciously macabre black comedy, Clyde Mortimer and his beloved wife Autumn (Jane Curtin) are struggling to keep their family business afloat when their taciturn granddaughter Sam discovers a sinister solution. Soon, a rash of mysterious “accidents” sends a bounty of new clients through the doors of Mortimer Family Funeral Home.A twisted satire of greed, desperation and the ethical flexibility lurking beneath polite society, BACK IN BLACK finds Murphy—director of several episodes of Alberta-made shows like JANN, HEARTLAND, and WYNONA EARP—wringing maximum laughs from an outrageous premise. Anchored by Walken’s gloriously unhinged performance, this is one funeral you won’t want to miss.
