Resurrectors

11th century Saxon slavery- free rural England. Charismatic twenty-something grifter Chad Hunter and master ventriloquist ex-Viking secretly gay Svend make a healthy living selling hope to hard working Christian and Pagan commoners by raising the dead, so they can assure their families that they are ok where they are. But one of the ‘dead patients’, a Saxon outlaw/liberator/revolutionary (Oswald Axelrod), in a deep coma, actually does wake up when given one of the ‘magic herbs’ which the duo thought would do nothing. Such disrupts the status quo of Axelrod’s village, then county, then country, then sets in motions Saxon rebellions against invading Vikings from the North, and Normans from France. Enter Robert Debois, pathetically naïve rich in pocket but poor in intelligence, courage and social awareness 20-something Saxon-born Norman Duke who hears his ‘Immortal Beloved’ back in France (a woman who wants nothing to do with him) speak to him through the wind, rain and chirping animals, giving him instructions as to how he can save the world from the ‘evil’ Saxon king. Such sets in motion a full scale invasion from Norman king William, the soon to be conqueror Willy. Add, Esmeralda, power hungry Norman noblewoman who, while officially dead, is plotting a revolution which could put the most vicious women in Europe on top, with the agenda to enslave every man AND woman who stands in their way.
