It is thought that the human brain can remain active for up to ninety seconds after decapitation. Severance is an evening of theatre that penetrates the final thoughts of history's beheaded, giving voice to the mortal regrets and acrid memories of the righteous, criminal, unlucky, and insane.
From Cicero to Marie Antoinette, Jayne Mansfield to John the Baptist, a cast of victims from across time and humanity present a bittersweet account of life on Earth, and the inescapable moment of death.
Adapted from a collection of short stories by Pulitzer Prize winning author Robert Olen Butler, these brief but urgent tales rend misery from mortality, carving enlightenment into a deadly truth. [Severance: Stories published by Chronicle Books LLC (c) 2006]
