Set in a remote farmhouse besieged by ghouls, "Night of the Living Dead" follows a group of strangers as they struggle not only against the horrors outside but also against the rising tensions within their relationships. The intimate setting of the Tom Kane Theatre, situated on the ground floor of Industry City’s Building 5, enhances the atmosphere, making this production a must-see for fans of horror and live theatre.
