BRAINS

Day Job Theatre presents BRAINS by Andrew Atha.

Kiera was a zombiephile (a fan of all undead media) but now finds the tropes hit a bit too close to home. Henry prefers romcoms and couldn’t spot a cliché until it was biting him in the face. The contrast between Kiera’s laid-back attitude towards getting eaten and Henry’s desperation to make it through to the other side prompts the question “why survive when there’s nothing to live for?”

“Brains does a beautiful job of inverting the classic and tired tropes of both the zombie genre and the theatrical form.”
