Episode 01: Origins
The first Episode of the Quintology had a short run at SF’s historic Cafe du Nord. A few of the ceremoniously-garbed musicians remain within the core of the “backup” band, the Dead-Again Christians. Highlights include an Ode to Jack Tripper’s escapades set to Venus in Furs, the seminal tome Pi-Mopp, wherein the Mummy recited Pi to …. well some say 47 digits, others 48. That’s one for the user forums to debate. Of note: the establishment of The Mummy’s Curse from somewhere way back during the Old Kingdom…possibly 6th Dynasty. Following a rather predictable arc The Mummy portends to entertain his audience faster than the speed of light in a half-witted attempt to rejoin his fiancee between dimensions. Just short of superluminal entertainment, his backup singers turn on him, eviscerating his tap-dancing self, strewing his sweetbreads across stage and delighted audience.
