Aurora Theatre will next present comedic thriller, Corpse!

After box-office success in recent years with wintertime dramas like Dial M for Murder and Wait Until Dark, Aurora Theatre will present the comedic thriller Corpse! by Gerald Moon.

The play has its Dress Rehearsal January 13, and will be staged Thursdays-Sunday from January 15 until February 8. Tickets are from $16 to $30, and may be purchased by calling 678-226-6222 or on the web atwww.auroratheatre.com.

The year is 1936. The place is London. The story is one of sibling rivalry as one brother plots to murder the other. The brothers are identical twins portrayed by one actor, which makes Corpse! so theatrically brilliant.

Aurora Theatre has tapped one of Atlanta’s top talents to take on the challenge of playing twins, welcoming Daniel May in his Aurora Theatre debut.

Anthony Rodriguez, Aurora Theatre Producing Artistic Director jokes, “We did not plan it this way, but in our current economic state, it is nice to only pay one actor to portray both leading roles. Kidding aside, it is a testament to our success that this powerhouse cast of household names in Atlanta theatre are all making their Aurora debut with Corpse!“
