Wakers

In this grimly humorous audio drama, the afterlife isn’t as restful as you’d hope. When corpses are brought back to life with a little bit of love (and necrophilia), they find themselves alone, confused, and in a world that has moved on without them.

WAKERS follows the newly undead as they stumble through their second chance at life. From mandatory group therapy to barely functioning government programs, they will find that life wasn’t quite ready for them. Not to mention the anxiety, depression, memory loss, the burnings, that weird club, that weirder church, my head’s leaking, I don’t know where I am or where to go or who I am, but hey -- at least I’m alive! …right?

Anyways… prepare for laughter, emotions, and discomfort as these reanimated souls explore the nature of identity, loneliness, and making a home when there’s nowhere else to go.

WAKERS was produced by Bedrock Productions. It was written and directed by Garrett Atkinson and co-directed by Dalton Sides.
