ZOMBIE: Home
Watch a preview of ZOMBIE.
"Shocking . . . a chilling one-man study of perversity . . . Mr. Connington commits totally to his haunting characterization and leaves us wondering exactly what kind of people are walking the streets alongside us."
--Anita Gates, The New York Times
ZOMBIE
An Award-winning new play
by BILL CONNINGTON
adapted from the novella by JOYCE CAROL OATES
Directed by THOMAS CARUSO
. . . the serial killer next door . . .
Stand back, Jeffrey Dahmer. A mild-mannered "everyman" sheds his skin, revealing the serial killer within. He follows his romantic delusions to horrific extremes, preying on young men, hoping to create a zombie who will be his forever. ZOMBIE asks what is the nature of a "monster"--and what potential monsters may be lurking within ourselves?
"I'm a very nice neighbor. I'm looking for just the right young man so I can turn him into my perfect zombie. What are you looking for? My failures are at the bottom of the lake. Where are you hiding yours?"

--Frank Scheck, New York Post

--Claudia La Rocco, WNYC Radio

--Robert Windeler, Back Stage
