Pontypool

Presented by Tamworth Dramatical Society Inc

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.

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.
