Were you sad about the demise of Herbert Reeves in the episode "Dialysis Murder"?
Well dont feel too bad as his actor John Tsopanis liked his character so much he revived him as a character within a play "OH THE HUMANITY ".
The production by playwright Will Eno takes "a look at the snapshots of life by eight people being ordinary. Inadequate. And totally exposed."
John Tsopanis approached Will with the proposal that Herbert would be a perfect fit for one of the characters. Soon enough Herbert was resurrected from the grave for the two night performance in late January.
"The background, the dress sense, everything's exactly the same! This is Herbert - thank you Ross for creating such an inspiring character. The thing about alot of
characters I find myself playing is they are too often one dimensional, or the director tries to make the characters have some great deep philosophy to them which is supposed to "make you think about life" but often its just a recipe for a boring character to play.
This is why Herbert is the best character I have played, he is so much fun! How often in real life do you get to say "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE" . It is for all these reasons Herbert had to come back to life- that and there were tree frogs to save"
