| James Wilson takes a look at Dead Outlaw from Audible Theater at Minetta Lane Theatre: If you appreciate macabre stories, here's one you might enjoy: In 1976, a teamster working on an episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man" made a gruesome discovery. One of the dummies hanging from the gallows of a Long Beach amusement park ride wasn't a wax mannequin or a plastic puppet, but the mummified remains of a man who had died more than fifty years before. Forensics discovered that the corpse, painted with Day-Glo red and hanging by a noose, was Elmer McCurdy, a forgotten and rather inept bandit from the turn of the twentieth century. The short life and long death in which McCurdy's corpse traversed the country and ended up in the Laff in the Dark thrill ride is the subject of Dead Outlaw, the ghoulish and exhilarating new musical produced by Audible Theater at the Minetta Lane. Although based on a true story, the show is a fantastic and biting satire on American greed and capitalism as if filtered through the gothic narrative of a Carson McCullers novel. |
