The recent wave of zombie mania shows no signs of slowing down. Recently, the Washington Post highlighted a new play, bringing the zombie aesthetic to the stage using dark comedy. Peter Marks of the Washington Post covers this in a recent article titled “‘Zombie: The American’: An unholy spectacle.”

Marks writes, “Well, kids, sorry to tell you, but the future here in the homeland doesn’t look like much fun. Floods, civil wars, invasions by foreign powers, stonings, beheadings. And, oh, yeah, zombies in the president’s basement. And wouldn’t you know it, even the zombies are downers, at least as they’re portrayed in ‘Zombie: The American,’ the frustrating muddle of a black comedy receiving its world premiere at Woolly Mammoth Theatre. The play, by Robert O’Hara — author of the far more inspired “Bootycandy,” which started at Woolly in 2011 and moved on to wider success — gets so lost in its own conceits that you’d welcome an actor stopping a scene to say: ‘Wait. What’s the point of this again?’ That question certainly occurred to me, as events lurched inexorably toward incoherence. Some theater pieces manage to detangle their difficult knots; this one’s complications simply become a source of dread, as with those boxes of hopelessly balled-up strands of Christmas tree lights haunting your attic. O’Hara and his director, Howard Shalwitz, cycle through multiple acts of carnage, shady diplomatic doings and pointlessly graphic sex scenes, all leading to a finger-wagging ending about America’s sins. We’ve been bad, you and I. The zombies, it seems, are us.”
