A Theater in the Dark Presents:

A MURDER IN THE COURT OF XANADU
Written and Directed by Corey Bradberry
Original Music by Paul Sottnik
Featuring Erin Lin, Gabriel Fries, Nessa Amherst, Van Ferro, and Robinson J. Cyprian

This is Part 2 of a 3-part original series!

A Theater in the Dark’s new audio play, A MURDER IN THE COURT OF XANADU, is a tale of “murder most foul and spoiled revenge”, re-imagining Kublai Khan’s 13th century empire as a 21st-century mega-corporation verging on the brink of bankruptcy. As Xanadu dominates the world markets, an indispensable executive eats the apple from the inside-out and threatens to bring the entire empire tumbling down around him. Written in verse, this modern-day epic drama full of corporate espionage honors the crumbled empire of ancient Mongolia while satirizing modern-day corporate greed.
