Adapted from the short story by Ambrose Bierce - if a ghost is a spirit without a body, a lich is a body without a spirit, pitiless and animated by hate. A surreal nightmare in a dark forest, and one of the first appearances of what could be called a zombie in Western literature. Written to work either on a conventional stage or for environmental theater.

The Death of Halpin Frayser
by Nicholas Thurkettle
“
A wonderful adaptation. Witty and engaging dialogue. Would work well for a "scary" piece around Halloween or any time. Very atmospheric with opportunities for amazing set design, but the piece works without the set because it's a great story.
