Hunter Lowry & Stuart Pearson
Playwrights & Composers of “Purgatory, Missouri”
a 7-part radio drama (Season One) written by Stuart Pearson and Hunter Lowry, whose American Gothic tunes define each other-worldly episode.
Where do we go when we sleep? Can we meet others there? What if death and dreams and seizures and comas led to a vast, decaying carnival, where you don’t remember how you got there and you cannot find a way out. Your only companions are the carnies who bally heartlessly at strange zombie-like souls trapped in panicky loops of their final moments. Could the Hall of Mirrors hold the answers to your fate?
Oh …. and …. f**k that phone.
