'The Head That Wouldn't Die' is a riotously funny spoof of the 1950’s B-movie Sci-Fi and Horror films complete with werewolves, robots, aliens, and disembodied heads.

Janice Arden, a young scientist and medical doctor to be, and her dimwitted but loveable best friend Penny Taylor must save Glen Logan, Penny’s boyfriend, after accidentally shooting him through the heart three times.  They remove Glen’s head and, through a miracle of science, keep it alive while they search for a new body to replace his old one. Meanwhile, the community is in complete terror of a 'madman' who has been killing and maiming people all over town.  Janice calls upon her nerdy friend Luke Lacombe and his creation, the B7, a highly sophisticated robot to be the replacement body for Glen.  But is the B7 really who Luke says he is?   Will Janice and Penny find a replacement body for Glen before it’s too late?  And who (or what) is the 'madman' that has been mangling bodies all over town?

All this and more was revealed to the delight and laughter of the audience during our recent autumn production.

'What's this? Glen dead? Penny to be charged with the murder? And what are these experiments of which Penny speaks? Stay tuned. The most amazing part of our story is yet to come.'

'The body was dead but you saved the head. The first full body amputation in medical history. It is nothing short of a miracle.

'Janice Arden. Penny Taylor. Meet...B7!'

'Luke left detailed instructions in that letter' 'Yeah. Step one: Faint dead away.'

'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?...' 'That's not Glen!'

'Flora! Just untie us!' 'I'm baking a cake.' 'What?'

'Janice Arden. I'm placing you under arrest.'
