Six strangers, a lonely farmhouse, surrounded by brain-eating zombies – what could go wrong?
More than just a re-creation of the story, this play celebrates the history and influence of its source material. Through a series of multiple endings, the characters are all faced with different issues and challenges while desperately trying to survive the night. However, their contrasting personalities and agendas always seem to prevent the group from working together. Which leaves us all wondering: Could anyone survive a night of the living dead?
