🧟 The Zombie Monologues

The apocalypse has arrived. Unfortunately, so has lockdown.

The Zombie Monologues brings a darkly funny take on horror, isolation and trying to make sense of a world that has completely lost the plot.

Part of Samhain Newbridge 2026 at Riverbank Arts Centre.

📅 Thursday 29 October
🕗 8pm
📍 Riverbank Arts Centre, Newbridge

🎟️ Tickets available from Riverbank Arts Centre.
