Australian premiere of Zombie Thoughts
From 27th May to 5th June Riverside Theatres’ National Theatre of Parramatta (NTofP) will present the Australian premiere of Zombie Thoughts, an interactive choose your own adventure story written by mother and son playwrights Jennifer A. Kokai and Oliver Kokai-Means.
During Zombie Thoughts, audiences have the power to decide which actor will play Sam or Pig, and which worlds they’ll enter. Sam’s deepest darkest fears come to life and this awesome best friends duo look out for each other in a often scary world. “No two shows will be the same, as the audience influences the storytelling, deciding characters, enemies and even costuming.” said Warwick Dodrell, Director.
In Australia, almost one in seven children struggle with anxiety. Zombie Thoughts offers a powerful tool to teach young people about Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), in a fun and entertaining way. Inspired by video games, like old school Mario or pacman, Zombie Thoughts takes us to worlds where the power of our mind controls our experience of the world , as Pig helps Sam through his fears.
