WORLD PREMIERE! ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction

It appears to be an idyllic American small town, but all is not well in Port Gamble. The island community in the Pacific Northwest is fraught with an unusual ailment nobody can explain. Soon enough, though, the explanation leaps out from every corner: Zombies! As with the vampire mythology, zombies have been put to a variety of uses with each generation. It is not coincidence that ZMD takes place just after the invasion of Iraq. Indeed, the zombie outbreak is blamed on a terrorist viral attack, and soon survivors are drawing lines in the sand, from the conspiracy-theorist who declares, "Some of us have to give up certain rights to stay safe," as he threatens to torture an Iranian-American student, to the fundamentalist preacher more worried about a gay couple seeking refuge in his church. Between the comedy and the gore, the real enemies are revealed to be ignorance and intolerance.—Dave Nuttycombe
