The Deatherians

John O'Keefe

A startling, exuberant anti-musical, The Deatherians, in best Grand Guignol tradition, takes Life by its throat! Its is Amsterdam, the future: euthanasia is state-sponsored and under the direction of the reluctant Dr. Krator, who finds himself faced with killing his colleague, Vodigger. Krator's assistant at the Halcyon Foundation has just discovered that 1.5% of the population is immortal. Seeking solace in the underbelly of the red light district, Krator falls in love with Morivia, who concocts a brilliant scheme for redemption.
