As original ideas dry up and everyone starts to just redo everything slightly differently in media, theater has been one of the biggest culprits for adapting every film, oddly motivational music career and even game license it can get its dramatic mitts on. Considering how contrived and hammy its plot can sometimes be, it makes almost perfect sense that Resident Evil is being turned into a stage play.
Biohazard: The Stage is the crazy baby of Avex Live Creative and Ace Crew Entertainment that will be run at Tokyo’s EX Theater Roppongi from October 22 to November 1. Capcom will have creative input, so don’t get your hopes up about seeing dancing zombies any time soon. If you have 8900 yen to hand and enough money for a flight to Japan, the tickets will be available from the 4th of October.
Following the hijinks of Chris and Piers as they investigate an outbreak at an Australian university, Biohazard: The Stage will also feature ex-S.T.A.R.S member Rebecca Chambers and also introduce a new character called Tyler Howard because there isn’t enough character bloat in the franchise as is.
From the official website and hastily translated by Google: “Total 65 million this sales worldwide, movies in Hollywood have been series of popular boasts Japan game “BIOHAZARD”.
This autumn, the stage of the world’s first decision! Suddenly it happened bioterrorism incident at the University of Western Australia. Pears and Chris pair bioterrorism troops BSAA who arrived in local, the attempt to quell the situation in cooperation with the original STARS members Rebecca et al taught at the university. Mysterious young man Tyler Howard who appeared there. Is he really who that for? And the astonishment of the truth behind the incident that has been heard from his mouth? Whether the herd of zombies looming and spread the virus would have been released into the world!?”
Word. Here’s hoping it takes the stage by storm and we have a version of it over here sometime soon because it sounds ridiculously charming. If it has lines like these below, we will be booking our flights immediately.
