RESSURECTION OF A POST RAPE ZOMBIE

a play by Mark Norfolk

9th of May, 7.00pm

Set in the state of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa, a white property developer crosses the river that divides the rich town and the poor land-dwellers with plans to regenerate the area. Although there are reports of missing people with a serial killer on the loose, he buys a plot of land and finds himself at odds with a female activist movement that sees the chaotic land as their domain.

The women have vowed to retaliate against a past history of assault and rape, seeing beauty in the chaos of violence. But when they begin to disobey orders from their leaders it brings into question their commitment to the cause. In order to create chaos you must first have order. Meanwhile, as events unfold, a young geneticist awaits her fate in a shabby basement.

Ressurection of a Post Rape Zombie is an allegorical full-length play that explores evolution and the nature of control in society’s new technological age and hints at how it, society might tolerate disorder to maintain its own fragile survival.
