Night of the Living Dead

Seven strangers take refuge from flesh eating ‘ghouls’ in an isolated farmhouse.  As the night draws in, their situation becomes desperate, hope turns to despair, and the picket-fence American dream is smashed apart.

Seven performers aimed to recreate on stage, in real time, one of the first zombie movies ever made, shot-for-shot before the audience’s very eyes, undertaking the seemingly impossible. With 1,076 camera edits to re-enact in 95 minutes it was a heroic struggle. Success required wit, skill and ingenuity, what could possibly go wrong?

Heart-racing, funny and packed with fear. Never tried before – and perhaps for good reason – this was an extraordinary night at the theatre.
