I'm certain about very little, but one thing I know for sure is that, as a middle-aged woman, I am not the target audience for The Generation of Z, the zombie show that has people scream their heads off in the Container Yard at the back of Edinburgh's George Square. The scenario is simple: there's a deadly, infectious virus on the loose that turns people into zombies at one bite. The audience are the surviving members of the population who have been attracted to a former research facility by a flare. The army are also there, and suddenly they have an unexpected 100 people on hand as the zombies gather and attack. Oooh, scary.
If you enjoy screaming, you'll probably have fun at The Generation of Z, but it's more likely simply a result of the adrenalin than from the dramaturgy or any development of narrative or character.
