    Absolutely HILARIOUS! Breakneck pacing, sparkling dialog, great characters, and zombies. This should be on every theatre's list for Halloween fare!

    As a horror fan, I enjoyed this theatrical horror comedy! Shimano establishes the given circumstances of the universe from the outset in a visceral and hilarious opening scene, introducing us to several dynamic characters. The story pivots in the second act the way that unique and cerebral genre-bending horror (a la "Cabin the Woods") does to help illustrate his broader points about loneliness, love, and connection. It would be a blast to see this engaging theatrical world realized onstage.

    I loved the workshop I saw of this with SF Theatre Pub. It's funny and scary and romantic and a lot of fun. So many fun design opportunities with this play, would run to see it in production!
