Pontypool LIVE

Pontypool LIVE at the Revue Stage on Granville Island

Thursday, February 25 at 7pm

All ticket sales are in US dollars.

Shock jock Grant Mazzy has been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and now the only job he can get is the early morning show at CLSY Radio in the small town of Pontypool which broadcasts from the basement of the small town's only church. What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations, due to yet another massive snow storm, quickly turns deadly. Bizarre reports start piling in of people developing strange speech patterns and evoking horrendous acts of violence. But there's nothing coming in on the news wires. So... is this really happening?

Before long, Grant and the small staff at CLSY find themselves trapped in the radio station as they discover that this insane behavior taking over the town is being caused by a deadly virus being spread through the English language itself. Do they stay on the air in the hopes of being rescued or, are they in fact providing the virus with its ultimate leap over the airwaves and into the world?

Pontypool LIVE is stage play adapted from the 2008 film of the same name as well as radio play, all by author Tony Burgess.
