Play based on the 1968 groundbreaking film by
George Ramero and Juno Russo
Fallout from a satellite probe shot to Venus returns to Earth carrying a mysterious radiation that transforms the dead into flesh-eating zombies. Seven people trapped in an isolated farmhouse, held hostage by the ravenous ghouls, begin to turn on each other as the dead encroach. A gripping terror-filled monochromatic play that brings all the fright of the cult classic to life. This blend of thrilling horror laced with touches of dark humor envelops the audience in the action and unfolds into a shocking theatrical ending.
Play adaptation by Lori Allen Ohm.
