Brazen Theater presents the professional world premier of Uncle Walt, a new dark comedy by Andrew Rosdail.
Able and Cain had nothing on Clint and Ron in this modern day allegory on two brothers at war. When Clint is fired from his job as a Disney animator, he kidnaps Walt’s frozen head in order to hold it for ransom. He takes the head home in a cooler to the shabby townhouse where he lives with his slacker younger brother. However, Clint does not count on Walt’s head coming to life with an agenda of his own: obtaining a new body. Walt’s plan? Talk one of the brothers in to killing the other.
