Here’s our newest character poster for Night Of The Living Dead.
Frankie is a completely new character that doesn’t exist in the original film. Myself and Connie Walsh created him for the play because we needed an extra male character for certain plot points and to convey some of the Irish centric themes of the play. He’s played by John Kennedy and as you can see, he’s under a lot of pressure in this poster. For the concept of the poster, we went with the idea of Frankie trying to escape into an attic. We don’t really have basements in Irish stories so we changed it to a Stira for the purposes of the play. Also, the sticks for Stira’s are lethal if you flake someone with them. Especially in the head.
Night Of The Living Dead runs from July 24th – 28th in The Watergate Theatre, Kilkenny. Check out www.nightofthelivingdead.ie for more details.
