Bede Vs. The Living Dead Episode 12 - Night Of The Living Dead: A Radio Play (2019) and Night Of The Living Dead: Remix (2020)

Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 12 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead. The podcast where your host Bede Jermyn explores the remakes, re-edits, reimaginings, homages, unofficial follow-ups and more to George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night Of The Living Dead across all media. First up, an apology needs to be made. Originally this episode of the podcast was going to be on the original cast recording soundtrack of the off-broadway show Night Of The Living Dead: The Musical but unfortunately due to some scheduling conflicts, my guest for that one and I weren't able to record that episode. Don't worry, that episode will be coming very soon. Once again, apologies for that. So your host Bede decided to switch things around and make the topic of episode 12 be on two versions of NOTLD that were done for radio with Kentucky Shakespeare's 2019 radio drama adaptation with Night Of The Living Dead: A Radio Play and the stage with the 2020 British experimental play Night Of The Living Dead: Remix by Imitating The Dog/Leeds Playhouse. Joining Bede to discuss both of these theatrical themed versions of Night Of The Living Dead is someone who knows a thing or two about this subject, is his good friend Steven T. Boltz, who co-runs the Melbourne theatre company⁠ The Knack Theatre and as well as the co-host of The King Zone's Book Club Podcast (the spin-off of The King Zone Podcast that Bede co-hosts with Super Marcey on The Super Network). Highlights in this one include Bede & Steven discussing how both the radio drama and stage play similarly set the tone for their interpretations, the enjoyment they had from listening to a radio drama version of Night Of The Living Dead, the mixed feelings they had on the portrayal of Barbara, wonder if there was 'too much' narration in it, praising the unique and radical approach of Night Of The Living Dead: Remix, stunned by the attention to detail the actors put into their roles, how the play adds to the final scene and so much more.
