“How much do you want for them?” “I really don’t know... I have never yet traded in dead folk.” A stranger arrives in a small town. He is a businessman. He makes enquiries. He charms the local officials. He visits the local landowners. But there’s something off about him… Loosely set in 19th century Russia, DEAD SOULS is a story of greed and transgression that feels worryingly modern. A dark comedy adapted from Nikolai Gogol’s infamously unfinished novel, it is epic, hilarious, tragic and bizarre.
