A play by Tony Burgess based on his cult horror novel

If words could kill!

In the sleepy Ontario town of Pontypool, something terrifying is spreading—fast. A strange virus is infecting the townsfolk, leaving its victims confused, violent, and ultimately…speechless.

 

From the safety of a basement radio station, shock-jock Grant Mazzy and his small team begin reporting on the chaos outside. But as the unsettling truth becomes clear, they realise that the very words they broadcast might be the key to the virus itself.

“It's fast. It's fun and it's a frightening treat for both horror and theatre fans alike." — Chicago Stage Review

Gripping, claustrophobic, and laced with dark humour, Pontypool takes audiences on a chilling journey where language becomes deadly and communication itself could be the end.

 

A psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat­—daring you to listen, but warning you to think twice before you speak.

 

Join us on Friday 7 August for our Gala Opening Night.  Foyer doors open at 6pm for complimentary nibbles and a drink, a small presentation at 6:45pm, followed by the show at 7:30pm.
