The Living Dead by Bob Bartlett
The radically reimagined survival story of Ben and “they’re coming to get you” Barbra, inspired by the horror classic Night of the Living Dead and the zombie apocalypse that has excited generations of horror fans for almost 60 years. The play responds to Romero’s subversive social and political portrait of turbulent late-1960s America.
