SUMMARY:BRAINS
DESCRIPTION:Day Job Theatre presents BRAINS by Andrew Atha. \nKiera 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?” \n\nRunning Time: 60 minutes\nAge Rating: 15+ due to adult language and reference to violence\nContent Awareness: adult language\, reference to suicide and suicidal thought\, references to violence and zombies\n\nDay Job Theatre returns to Wanstead Fringe with a new play by Andrew Atha. Previous plays include Robot Penguin and The Strangelmans. \n\n  \nReviews for BRAINS \n“Andrew Atha’s aptly described zom-com is a complete delight for any horror movie fan.” \n | Rated Reviewed \n“Brains does a beautiful job of inverting the classic and tired tropes of both the zombie genre and the theatrical form.” \n | Adventures in Theatreland \n  \nCast \n\nHenry: Andrew Atha\nKiera: Lauren Michell\n\nCreative Team \n\nPlaywright: Andrew Atha\nDirector: Jasmine McHayle\nProducer: Julia Blomberg\nAssociate Producer: Dela Ruth Hini \nTechnician: Beckett Gray
