- Abstract
The article discusses the portrayal and physicality of zombies in theater and theatre practitioner Michael Chekhov's zombie training techniques. It describes a three-week process during which a class of young student-actors undertake a quest to create a unique theatrical physicality for characters drawn from the plays "A Doll's House," by Henrik Ibsen, "Fool for Love" by Sam Shepard and "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams.
