The University of New South Wales's drama department's latest play, a live production of the 1989 movie Weekend At Bernie's has opened to rave reviews this week. Starring Simon Wylie and James Duncan in the lead roles made famous by Andrey McCarty and Jonathan Silverman the real star of the production is Donated Body 722b who plays Bernie Lomax, the 'dead' leading man.

The production has been playing to packed theatres since it opened two weeks ago with the Sydney Morning Herald's arts page describing Donated Body 722b's performance as "one of the most relaxed stage presences I have ever witnessed. His ability to portray a corpse is nearly flawless and his sense of comic timing is close to perfect. Pay extra attention to the ultra realistic way his arm falls off his body in the second act, the makeup and special effect expertise of undergraduate Brad Hogen (for some reason billed as morgue technical / embalmer) obviously also deserve credit for his work. A must see, 4 stars."
