Sweden's great beauty Greta Gustafsson, later renamed Greta Garbo has been the subject of several plays, but, to my knowledge, When Garbo Talks is the first musical to recount her fascinating career. ICT's world premiere production in Long Beach is well directed, has an excellent cast, but at best comes off disconnected and unduly and unclearly satirical. If parody is the intent, it is far from apparent at the beginning.
International City Theatre closes its 25th, Silver Jubilee Season with the world premiere of an original musical about glamorous and enigmatic silver screen legend Greta Garbo.

What happens when outwardly 'normal' people snap? Joyce Carol Oates' ZOMBIE sheds insight into this question by taking you inside the mind of a sexual psychopath. In ZOMBIE, a Jeffrey Dahmer-esque serial killer by the name of 'Quentin P__' describes the murder, torture and rape of his young male victims. A sexual psychopath, he aspires to create zombie slaves to meet his every need. ZOMBIE received the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel and was awarded the Lilla Risk Rand fiction prize by the Boston Book Review. Warning: ZOMBIE is not appropriate for those under the age of 17 due to adult situations.
