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.”

Tim Curran is an American author of horror fiction. His works include the novels Skin Medicine, Hive, Dead Sea, Resurrection, Skull Moon, The Devil Next Door, and Biohazard. His most recent books have been The Spawning, the short story collections Bone Marrow Stew and Zombie Pulp, and the novellas "1867: The Skulleater Campaign", "The Corpse King", and "Fear Me" When did you first become interested in writing? Oh, probably when I was 12 or 13. Up until that point my exposure to horror fiction came in the form of movies, TV, and horror comics. It was then I started ordering horror books from the back pages of Creepy and Eerie magazine. That’s when I really started falling in love with it—the Pan Books of Horror, Masters of Horror, Horror Times Ten, the Frankenstein Horror Series, those Dracula paperbacks by Robert Lory. I fell in love with horror fiction then. Before that I read a lot of science fiction, particularly H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimo...

Interview With Franka Potente - (‘Charlotte Brown’ / ‘Anne Frank’) - American Horror Story: Asylum

Q:  You get to be something that most actors don't get to be.  You're a bomb of a character.  How would you fit in?  How will you upset the universe? A: I come in there because I am a housewife and I beat up two men in a bar.  I claim to be Anne Frank, which millions and millions of schoolchildren have read the book, we all assume is dead but do we really know.  I seem to have proof that what I say is true.  So at first nobody believes me but the more proof I bring the more people are investigating if what I say is true.  Not only that, there's somebody in there who works in this time that I seem to recognize from Auschwitz concentration camp.  So I'm pointing fingers at people too. Q: How will this affect the characters running the asylum? A: You definitely will but that is already set in motion isn't it?  Like you know, there's not going to be the moment where you're like oh my God, I thought this person was good.  I don't know if...
