SWINE FLU - THE MUSICAL
 In "Swine Flu!" the musical, ordinary people start craving bacon and instead of digesting it normally, begin to smell like bacon to a
disturbing degree.  The disturbance causes otherwise healthy people to take bites out of this person.  So, if you were infected, you could be on the subway, and someone "normal" would be moved to start sniffing you, possibly licking you and then suddenly, goes for your arm.  

The victim sings a song.
The biter grunts rhythmically.

The "horrible" thing is that we all have this latent bacon-loving gene and the person afflicted with this version of the flu simply triggers it.  Everybody knows that even vegans often miss bacon.  A good whiff can turn anyone into a make-shift Linda Blair, however, without the need to die first and become a pale-faced undead person.  This brings down special effect make-up costs.  

The plot moves along once the innocent predator tastes the fluids of the porky person, contracting the disease, and ultimately "inviting" other people to bite them.  The final scene is a kind of crazy feasting zombie-like opera.  It's low brow and potentially full of meta understandings.

The best job in the theatre is to cook bacon in the back for low budget smell-o-vision.  Once the play takes off, we can invest in scratch and sniff cards.
