SYNOPSIS:
TIME: 24 hours post-engagement:
The cataclysm. A planeit’s destruction, and It is alive. Again. . Having recently made the altering jump from collecctive-driven figure of the silver screen to real-life meat machine (and what a stinkin crate it is) the Mummy purports to entertain his audience "faster than the speed of light" in an effort to reverse the process of putrefaction, to return perhaps pre-conception to the inter-dimensional world of possibility and imagination and perhaps a reuniting with his dimensionally-estranged bride-to-be, with whom he previously shared a love that was frowned upon!
Endlessly reincarnating into sequel after bloody sequel, Mummy returns to entertain once again at San Francisco’s historic cabaret / lounge, the Café du Nord. Conspiring with the Dead-Again Christians, his backup band of over 40 centuries, they endeavour to entertain the thirsty niteclub crowd with an evening of superluminal song and dance.
Universal purchased his "life story" and rung it through an endlessly banal group of sequel after sequel. Dazed and confused, a bandaged movie monster of classical emphasis stands before a crowd of 150 at the Café du Nord, San Francisco. And recalls his family’s historied position in the entertainment industry: underground films, the art world and romance novel covers.
Confused from the discombobulating trip between dimensional realities, the Dead Again Christians start rattling off a musical gumbo of skewed reference and glossolalia schtick in an effort to appease their vengeful deity, Cheezus Christ, patron saint of appetizers.
The Mummy….
Lustfully recalls furniture-mating in the burial tomb.
Ranmbles , shambles performs terrible impersonations
Naps and dreams of lost love
Battles UFO’s with joke warfare
Meditates crooningly on the nature of pi
Eventually attacked and torn apart by his backup singers, the quadratic element of the band, the trtiplemint twins. He dies to live another day. Again.
