Radio Basa: Corpse Honey (Listening Party + Talk Back)

Corpse Honey was written by Rizal Adanza (IG: @rizaladanza) during Christina Ying’s Horror Writing Workshop for Bindlestiff Studio in 2019. It had a staged reading in October of that year at the black box theatre. The play was inspired by research around the vulture bee—a bee that makes honey out of corpses. 

Teenager Dahlia, a Jehova’s Witness, doesn’t expect anything out of the ordinary when she happens upon a house at the end of a lonely isolated road. She then learns the strange family has secrets after she enters their dangerous home.

FORBIDDEN FUTURE(S) 2020 takes over the Bindlestiff Twitch stream on Saturday, October 17, 7:00 PM PST, with six original short plays wrapped in a love letter to sci-fi pulp fiction, cyberpunk/post apocalyptic media, and heavy metal magazine.
