Game of Thrones meets Walking Dead in Lancaster lecturer’s new play

A new play by a Lancaster University lecturer in creative writing explores the lives of three young people as they deal with the aftermath of a devastating plague. Playwright Tajinder Singh Hayer's new work 'North Country' is performed by award-winning intercultural theatre company Freedom Studios. The action, described as Game of Thrones meets Walking Dead, examines how the trio reshape themselves and their communities over the next 40 years. Together and separately they struggle to survive, each bringing together their people and their communities as they try to remake their world. But their biggest challenge doesn't come from starvation or zombie-like cannibals. It comes from within. The cast will feature actors Natalie Davies (who played school bully Shelley in ITV's Coronation Street), Kamal Kaan (Brief Encounters at Bradford Interchange, Freedom Studios) and Philip Duguid-McQuillan (Jumpers for Goalposts, Paines Plough/Hull Truck/Watford Palace Theatre & The Bush Theatre ).
