Urban Death Horror Play South Africa

This spine-chilling Los Angeles-based horror show heads to Mzansi for its debut performance

Los Angeles-based Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group’s critically acclaimed live horror production Urban Death screams its way into South Africa for the first time ever at the Intimate Theatre in Cape Town from Thursday, 5 to Sunday, 15 December 2013.

Created by American theatre makers Zombie Joe and Jana Wimer, Urban Death is essentially a sketch show, but instead of playing for laughs, the actors aim to elicit horrified gasps and nervous giggles from the audience. It is physical theatre of the imagination at its very best. The Mother City leg of this show features an all-South African cast, is directed by Wimer herself and is a collaboration between The Mechanicals (a local troupe) and Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group in Los Angeles.

This critically acclaimed show has been hailed by US critics as:

  • "A deranged commitment and commitment to derangement" - LA Weekly
  • "More horror entertainment in 60 minutes than most Hollywood studio horror divisions do in 10 years." - FearNet
  • "Sheer, vital stagecraft." - New York Times
  • "Super-fun and very cool, but genuinely no-kidding scary production." - LAist

Urban Death is a theatrical thrill-ride of terrors, taboos, and trepidations, and patrons can prepare for an exploration into the inexplicable horrors, unfathomable monstrosities, and the disturbed spirits that walk among us.
