An immersive theatre experience The Generation of Z: Apocalypse will begin performances at a purpose build venue in Whitechapel, east London from 4 April 2015 where it is currently booking to 5 July 2015.

Fresh from performances in New Zealand and at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival, this unique performance piece hurls audiences into the maelstrom of a zombie apocalypse, where the unique story unfolds around them in real time.

"It is 2015. London has fallen. The deadly Z virus is transforming the global population into a rabid horde of the infected. With societal structure collapsing, humanity is faced with a desperate battle for survival. The Generation of Z: Apocalypse is the immersive live experience that puts you squarely into the dark heart of a zombie massacre."

The performance will take place in a purpose-built venue in former Wickhams department store on Mile End Road in Whitechapel, with a basement spanning over 25,000 square feet.

The Generation of Z: Apocalypse is written by Benjamin Farry, Simon London and David Van Horn, and directed by Michael Hurst and Colin Mitchell. It is produced in association with Riverside Studios, Andy Harries and Luke Johnson. Beth Allen and Charlie McDermott serve as producers with William Burdett-Coutts, Andy Harries and Luke Johnson as Executive Producers.

WARNING: This is a promenade performance containing moments of extreme shock and tension, realistic depictions of gore and violence, and loud noises, not suitable for those under 16 years old.
