The Production
2.8 Hours Later is Street Game that combines elements of play and theatre. With some scenes staged on the street and others in an array of interesting locations. Each city we visit gets a unique staging of the game. Some past locations have included Multi storey car parks, Derelict shops, Churches, Police stations, Bank volts and shopping Malls. With 500 players per night and minimum 4 night run in any city, we are looking to have up to 16,000 players this year.

We tell our players that starting from a secret city centre location, 2.8 Hours Later is a thrill-packed roller coaster ride of zombie movie action. The game starts at sundown and is 2.8 hours of pure adrenaline. The experience is physically and psychologically challenging and though your adrenaline will keep you going, you'd better be prepared for a night of endurance. This is after all, the end of the world!

Players find themselves in a city that has been devastated by a zombie infection. Their aim: to find the small pockets of survivors hiding out in some amazing locations, while all the time running from the hordes of bloodthirsty zombies roaming the streets. Each location will get them one step closer to the survivors camp - the last safe place in the city. Their goal is to make it through this nightmarish world and find the Survivors camp and the Zombie disco within.

Each city has a different layout and different characters. The character list provided is a complete set from which we select the appropriate ones for the city. Please apply for any role you like. If we like you we will ask you to come to a casting session. We do not strictly cast actors by the role they applied for.

Please note we do not cover any additional expenses such as travel or accommodation. 2.8 Hours Later is Street Game that combines elements of play and theatre.
