More than 50 young people from Mahdlo Youth Zone premiere zombie film at Oldham Theatre Workshop
More than 50 young people premiered their zombie comedy The Oldham Outbreak at Oldham Theatre Workshop after directing, acting and filming it themselves.

More than 50 young people from Mahdlo Youth Zone have made their own zombie film, The Oldham Outbreak, which premiered at Oldham Theatre Workshop recently.
The comedy follows a zombie infection as it spreads through Oldham town centre. Local young people took on almost every role behind and in front of the camera.
They worked as directors, actors, camera operators, costume designers and special effects make-up artists. Filming took place at locations across Mahdlo and Oldham.
The finished film was shown to an audience of more than 100 people at the premiere.
It was created through Mahdlo and Oldham Theatre Workshop's "Opening Doors to Theatre" project, which aims to give young people opportunities to explore theatre and creative work. The project is funded by The Roger Tanner Trust.
