Presented by KuLT Productions, the show is a musical comedy set in contemporary Kuala Lumpur, and examines current themes such as scaling the corporate ladder, overwork and sacrifice, which will be familiar to many modern theatre-goers. And yes, there are zombies involved, but it is NOT a horror musical: viewers are more likely to die of laughter than a zombie bite!
‘The Working Dead’ tells the story of Edwin, a dedicated salaryman who wants nothing more than to give his wife, Sarah, a happy life. As a result, he works long hours at his office to provide for her. When he dies unexpectedly, his demanding boss, Chan, hires a bomoh to bring him back as a corporate zombie to finish his work. It’s all up to Sarah and Edwin’s colleagues to save the day!
