“Thanks to a cunning transposition of genre conventions, the Western-zombie mash-up “Death Valley,” written and fight directed by Adam Scott Mazer, comes off tighter than Dick’s hatband… ”Death Valley” delivers the merciless body count essential to zombie tales, with Stephanie Cox-Williams’ agreeably putrid gore effects eliciting waves of groaning delight from the audience.” - Back Stage Critic’s Pick
“Death Valley is also lots of fun with transformations aplenty, wild barroom brawls staged by Mazer, and a satisfying surprise ending. The members of AntiMatter Collective are fantastic as both the living and undead.” - Flavorpill Editor Pick
“This story is a refreshing spin on both zombie flicks and westerns. The cast and crew put their heart into it…at least someone’s heart sprayed blood all over the people in the front row, which was greeted with applause.” – NYTheatre.com Indie Theatre Pick
“Staged with verve and even a touch of menance.” – The New York Times
“It’s messy and gory and bloody awesomeness in the heart of Bushwick. Death Valley… offers us a deliciously gruesome conglomeration of both the Western and Zombie genres mashed together in an entertaining night of theater.” – Off Off Online
“With a clever script, superb direction by Dan Rogers, and realistic drama… it was pure suspense.” – New York Press
“Death Valley is an exercise in gory, action packed fantasy excitement put on by a young scrappy cast full of passion… the gusto with which the AntiMatter Collective tackles the subject matter is infectious.” - Short and Sweet NYC
“What really makes Death Valley special is that it is a zombie story told through theatre — live, on stage, in front of an audience — rather than through the usual mediums of television or film. In fact, the act of watching a zombie play gave me a new awareness of all of the elements that go into making a zombie story successful and that it takes a good deal of clever effects and choreography to pull it off on stage.” – Theatre Is Easy
AntiMatter Collective was also interviewed for a NYTheatre.com podcast.
DEATH VALLEY was originally commissioned and developed in Vampire Cowboys’ Saturday Night Saloon Series.
