Mansfield With Monsters

By Donna Giltrap
Players: 13
Genre: Post-WW1 zombie apocalypse
Wellington
1918. It has been many months since the dread Haitian Flu arrived in New
Zealand. Tens of thousands have died, if not from the flu itself then from the
depravations of those who succumbed to the disease only to rise from the grave
with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
The
Government responded by enacting curfews and rationing measures. The army set
up safe zones guarded by machine guns and barbed wire where the living might
continue with their business. Those who wander outside the safe zones risk
being torn apart by the living dead.
Still
one shouldn’t let the fact that the dead are returning to life in contravention
of the very laws of nature get one down. Many of the city’s well-to-do are
doing their best to carry on as if there wasn’t an apocalypse on their
doorstep. In this spirit of brave defiance Dr and Mrs Harry Young are holding a
dinner party for a number of their closest friends.
Mansfield
with Monsters has been written celebrate the release of the book of the same
name by Matthew and Debbie Cowens. You don’t have to read the book to enjoy the
LARP, but you might want to check it out anyway.
