About the event
Upon his passing in 1993, horror film actor, Vincent Price, entered the place he had represented extensively on film … HELL. Because he played so many evil creatures, it was decided he should sojourn in the fiery pits BUT the Mormons — because of his brilliant portrayal of Joseph Smith in the biopic Brigham Young — petitioned for a reprieve. Heaven and Hell decided they would give Mr. Price a spirit guide who looked remarkably like a younger version of himself. Once paired up, the two men navigate the seven sins as outlined in Dante’s Purgatorio; philosophical waxing and slapstick sound effects ensue. Price is forced to look back at a life and a career which have become inextricably intertwined. What makes a man? What makes a showman? What makes a soul? Vincent Price is about to find out in this new radio play by Drew Pisarra.
