Grant Mazzy has hit rock bottom. The one time popular morning zoo radio jock has wound up doing traffic and temperature at a small station in the even smaller town of Pontypool, Illinois. Until one day the calls start to pour in; people are talking about bizarre mob attacks, military quarantines and people eating other people. Is this a hoax? Is Mazzy a victim of a small town prank? And if it is not a prank, will anyone survive.
Based on the Tony Burgess novel, “Pontypool Changes Everything,” and the popular film, Pontypool, by Bruce McDonald, Pontypool is a new and refreshing take on the zombie genre. Adapted by Burgess for the stage including the story now being set in Illinois and an entirely new ending. Pontypool may not be appropriate for some audiences. It contains violence, adult language, blood, and zombies.
