The Stage 32 Videos: Surreal

Aboard a Train from Brentango Productions. This is what can happen when a 1948 comic book joke page collides with the fever dream of a forgotten radio play. Every single word in this track comes directly—unchanged and in exact order—from a single page of vintage jokes titled Screamers, found in an old issue of Andy Comics. No additions. Just pure, mid-century madness reanimated as hypnotic spoken word over a looping, cinematic pulse. The result is unsettling, funny, strangely poignant—and completely unpredictable. A dog with record eyes. A man tipping his hat. A shot rings out. Why do I live? This is not nostalgia. It’s resurrection.

After a mid-pandemic dating app hookup, a young insomniac wakes up in a luxurious Manhattan apartment where things are not what they seem. Something about his host – and the whole situation – is off. When she reveals that they are not alone, the red flags escalate into a waking nightmare.
