Kate Racculia’s Bellweather Rhapsody is a hotel story that mirrors other hotel stories. Imagine, if you will, that Wes Anderson had written and directed The Shining. Four characters?

Have you ever felt the exhilarating rush of being chased by zombies and used your parkour skills to get to the safe house to switch on the electric fence trap? Well, in Dying Light, you can.
I’ve always had a fondness for the energy and enthusiasm found in live theatre.
