The Working Dead at Twenty20Two

“The Working Dead - A New Musical” is an original contemporary dark comedy musical set in Kuala Lumpur, about a hardworking salaryman, Edwin, who dies unexpectedly while being involved in an important work project. His boss, Chan, makes a deal with Aini, a “Bomoh” (traditional healer or witch doctor) to bring him back to life as a corporate zombie. It is then up to his brave wife, Sarah, to put matters right, with the help (or otherwise) of Edwin’s colleagues Derek and Joanne.
