Half-Life (a zombie letter for no one)

Mead Theatre Lab
916 G Street NW Washington

There have been a lot of cool zombie scenarios in recent years, but Half-Life (a zombie letter for no one) at Mead Theatre Lab may be the first to place the walking dead in a rite-of-passage tale of a car accident survivor transitioning from girlhood to adulthood. Rachel Hynes, a veteran of Washington D.C. experimental theater, devised this darkly comic meditation on loss, which finds zombified protagonist Regina struggling to re-integrate into her community following the crash that killed her. A surreal blend of surrealism and pathos, this two-person physical theater piece will shake you up and get you thinking.

No one in Regina’s rural town readily accepts her malformed state, what with her gaping wounds and creaky gait and all. She strikes fear even in the heart of her mother
