August Thursday 26 - Movie Mashterpiece Theatre – Doctor Death: Seeker of Souls (7pm) $9

The Phoenix National Comedy Theatre tackles another obscure B-Movie, this time the American curio Doctor Death: Seeker of Souls (1973) a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a mix of improvisation, comedy and a really bad movie. Meet the charming, flamboyant Doctor Death (the incredible John Considine), a 1000-year-old man who has mastered the art of "selective reincarnation", promising to keep one's soul alive forever! The catch? He needs a fresh body to host it for you, and finding willing volunteers is an impossibility. When Fred's beloved wife dies, he refuses to believe she is gone forever. Dr. Death's loyal assistant, Tana (Florence Marly, the original QUEEN OF BLOOD), offers a supernatural solution to return his wife to him...only to run into trouble when Dr. Death can't find a suitable body for her to reside in! Laughs galore will ensue as the National Comedy Theatre troupe performs a live accompaniment to this b-movie schlock.
