In celebration of the release of Audible's Heads Will Roll, the audio production company is offering Playbill readers an exclusive listen at the new comedy from Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon and her co-creator/co-star, sister Emily Lynne. Told over ten audio episodes, Heads Will Roll features performances from the Tony-winning, Broadway-bound Audra McDonald plus Meryl Streep, Andrea Martin, Queer Eye’s Fab Five, Bob the Drag Queen, and more.
In Heads Will Roll, Queen Mortuana of the Night Realm (McKinnon) and her ditsy raven minion JoJo (Lynne) receive a prophecy about a peasant uprising. Together, they must journey to find the “Shard of Acquiescence,” which will put down the rebellion and save the throne.
Listen to an exclusive excerpt from episode three, in which McDonald, as Mortuana’s college frenemy, Queen Chantraine, recites a song that was performed in her honor at a recent Queen’s Day Pageant.
