The undead were unleashed when a zombie apocalypse came to University Park.
It wasn’t the end of the world as we know it but a fundraiser for The Nottingham New Theatre production of Frankenstein. The game was simple: pay for clues to reach checkpoints; avoid being eaten by zombies.
Frankenstein producer Jennifer Kohnhorst applied the make-up while director Jake Leonard suggested what kind of zombie to be — a walker (think Dawn of The Dead) or a runner (think 28 Days Later).
Slow and creepy was popular, but runners had a chance of catching people. Toby Stevens was hoping for some old-school zombie scares: “If I get the chance to sneak up on people I will.”
But since this was a light-hearted apocalypse, no brains were consumed that evening.
