Six actors stand in the hot glow of the stage lights. Restless, bewildered, on edge. Another fucking dinner party story is about to begin but something’s different – the cultural tectonics are shifting, a new world is emerging, and the stage as usual is under siege.
As new stories break ground, old tropes tumble down into the chasm. The real question is: when this surge of change abates, what – and who – will rise from the rubble?
Pirandello meets Brecht meets the Twilight Zone. Ethics and art collide in this timely, darkly funny, and existential play by acclaimed playwright Jason Sherman.
