The Generation of Z: Apocalypse Comes to London‏

-






PERFORMANCES FROM 4TH APRIL AND BOOKING UNTIL 5TH JULY

GENERAL ON SALE FROM FRIDAY 20TH FEBRUARY



After critically acclaimed runs in New Zealand and at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival

Fringe, The Generation of Z: Apocalypse is a high-velocity theatre experience

being brought to a purpose-built venue in East London from 4th April.








Described as “an adrenaline-churning assault of a show” by The Scotsman, this is

immersive theatre unlike anything you have ever experienced before. Audiences

are hurled into the maelstrom of a zombie apocalypse, where the unique story

unfolds around them in real time. Through the electrifying 75 minute show the

fate of our audience lies in their hands, where every choice they make can mean

life or death for themselves... and for the rest of mankind.



The world of The Generation of Z: Apocalypse unfolds within a purpose-built,

labyrinthian venue in Dept W on Mile End Road in Whitechapel. The former

Wickhams department store is an iconic building in the heart of East London,

with its basement spanning over 25,000 square feet. It is here that audiences

must attempt to navigate their way through our apocalyptic wasteland.









Not for the faint hearted, The Generation of Z: Apocalypse throws you into your

very own action movie, where there is no fourth wall and no interval.



Show Producers Beth Allen and Charlie McDermott say, “We can’t wait to unleash

The Generation of Z: Apocalypse onto London audiences. We are creating

theatre for a new generation, giving our audiences an experience and not just a

performance. With film-quality production design, a heart-stopping narrative and

opportunities for audiences to affect the story’s outcome, this show will be like

nothing anyone has experienced before.”







With Executive Producer William Burdett-Coutts commenting, “This production

started in New Zealand, came to Edinburgh where it was one of the fastest sellouts

ever and we are delighted to be bringing it to London. This does something

special in terms of appealing to both a traditional and non-traditional theatre

audience and in terms of generating interest in live work is one of the most

incredible things I have ever seen.”

REVIEW: The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) Starring Javier Botet

"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" skillfully resurrects the classic tale of Dracula, taking the audience on a chilling journey through a haunting lens. Directed by André Øvredal and written by Bragi F. Schut Jr. and Zak Olkewicz, this 2023 supernatural horror film expertly navigates the perilous waters of horror, blending atmospheric dread with shocking twists. The film's focal point is the doomed voyage of the merchant ship Demeter, led by the capable Corey Hawkins as Clemens, an unwitting doctor joining the ill-fated crew. Aisling Franciosi shines in her standout performance as Anna, a stowaway enslaved by the sinister Dracula, portrayed with eerie mastery by Javier Botet. The ensemble cast, featuring Liam Cunningham as Captain Elliot and David Dastmalchian as first mate Wojchek, delivers solid performances anchoring the film. A notable strength of the film is its ability to cultivate a pervasive atmosphere of dread. From the departure of Demeter from Varna, Bulgaria, to

REVIEW: My Animal (2023) - Starring Bobbi Salvör Menuez

"My Animal," directed by Jacqueline Castel, intertwines supernatural horror, romance, and the challenges of teenage life within a small northern town. While the film possesses some strengths, it ultimately falls short due to its execution of the plot, inconsistent acting performances, and a lack of authentic horror elements. The storyline centers around Heather, an aspiring goalie in a hockey-obsessed town, struggling with her turbulent relationship with her alcoholic mother, Patti. A key element of the narrative is Heather's burgeoning romance with Jonny, a tormented figure skater and newcomer to the town. Their relationship unfolds amidst the backdrop of Heather grappling with her hidden sexual orientation and a familial curse that transforms her into a feral wolf under the full moon. "My Animal" shines brightest in its portrayal of the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in tight-knit communities. The film offers a perceptive exploration of coming out in a
