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.”
