The Resurrectionists

    A rich and hilarious dark comedy. In just a few short pages, LeBlanc has crafted a pair of intensely memorable characters that the audience can’t help but love…despite their somewhat questionable definition of morality.

    How I love a good dark comedy! Which, by the way, is not easy to pull off. Mr. LeBlanc's talent is in top form with this short work. Terrific dialogue and a good punchline at the end. Nicely done!

    If you think about it, you can probably come up with a unique justification for any morally dubious behavior. And this pair of grave robbers have come up with a doozy! Robert LeBlanc has given us a wonderful comic duo that I would want to see played by Laurel and Hardy, if they could be resurrected. The introduction of the Watchman provides the perfect finish.
