Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom
Something strange is happening in the suburbs. Parents are stunned when their kids become addicted to an online horror video game. The setting? A neighborhood of identical houses. The goal? Smash through an army of zombies to escape. But when the game starts bleeding into reality, both parents and players discover that fear has a life of its own. Written by Jennifer Haley (Hemlock Grove, Mindhunter), this darkly funny, wildly creepy play delivers an unforgettable theatrical ride with “an affectingly gruesome finale” (Variety).
