Synopsis

Zombie is a fun twist on a modern cult classic. When Mike awakes to find a zombified houseguest residing in his basement, a classic undead-slaying, girlfriend-rescuing, hideout-finding adventure is in the cards.

Blackouts-In a world completely bereft of meaning, and so full of suffering, can our plucky protagonists truly hope to survive as they battle a mysterious and unfeeling malevolent presence? This hilarious short piece of absurdist theatre debuted at Mainline Theatre in Montreal March 2011
