How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse, a blend of comedy and horror, is a drama template themed around a subject that is particularly dramatic and disturbing for teenagers (and adults): zombies! In his one-act play, award-winning playwright and screenwriter Ben Muir uses education as a narrative framework to prepare teens for the possible arrival of these eerie dead and teach them effective survival strategies.

 

Alongside the theatrical ‘grit’ of the genre, the production also addresses deeper issues of threat (both abstract and concrete) felt by young people, playfully exploring themes of fear and manipulation as well as creativity and collaboration.
