They’re coming to get you, Barbara! Well, here’s a new twist on an old classic. George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead performed live and in glorious black and white!
Yes, that meant that the set, the props, and even the actors were all monochromatic. cool, right?

Peggy and I had seen DSR’s production of Evil Dead: The Musical in 2009 and now seven years later, we went with Sean to see DSR’s production of Night of the Living Dead Live at the CBC studios.
Both plays were enjoyable if you’re a horror or theatre buff. I only wish they had better marketing team to really promote their theatre productions. This new interpretation of Romero’s classic should have had way more people attending. As it was days leading up to halloween – on a Saturday night, no less – the venue should’ve been packed.
Although the turnout was low, we had a good time. We grabbed front row centre seats and settled in for the show and to be hella spooked by the zombies shuffling off the stage, into the aisles and at the audience.

And yes, Peggy still used me as a shield, even after all these years. But now, I get to use Sean as my shield against the hordes of the undead.
