Two couples must deal with the rapidly approaching zombie apocalypse in The Revenants, a play written by Scott T. Barsotti and directed by Dan Spurgeon. The drama unfolds when two couples are forced into hiding but not before one partner in each pair has been bitten by zombies. The remaining spouses are left to watch their loved ones transform into monsters before their own eyes. The play brings up questions about commitment, love and betrayal.
