A play that changes with each performance– based on the roll of the dice– In the Castle of Eternal Sunset follows two teenage boys as they play a game of Dungeons & Dragons on an autumn day in 2004. As the teenagers roll to see what happens next, their different possible futures slowly unfold— both in, and outside, the game.

During the play, audience members will be prompted to read aloud fragments of text from their seats, determined randomly by the fall of the dice. The texts contain the hundred different possibilities of how the boys’ lives might unfold. Their fates, then, are never set— until the die rolls, each performance, set them on their path— and the audience speaks their futures into being.

A drama of loss and trauma set in the aftermath of the holocaust, Genocide: A Love Story is loosely based on the lives of Vilna Ghetto resistance fighters Abba Kovner and Vitka Kempner, following these troubled, young Jewish survivors as they plot their retaliation against the Gentile world by poisoning the water mains of Europe— in order to kill six million Germans. But as the couple navigates an existence of darkness, vengeance, and bloodshed, they find themselves faced with the greatest struggle of all: that of confronting their grief. A non-traditional approach to a true, biographical narrative, Genocide: A Love Story metaphysically expresses the inner, emotional lives of its characters, presenting a world haunted by the Angel of History, a chorus of Eternal Jews, and monstrous Biblical figures in a drama that attempts, unsentimentally, to wrestle with the trauma of the holocaust and its pernicious repercussions today.

When Jack— a frail, nihilistic, cowboy-gunslinger— unloads twenty clips of his M16 onto a bustling crowd at the Texas County Fair, he is tracked down by the sheriff, locked away in a desert prison, and sentenced to death. But when the phantoms of his imagination take control of the world, he breaks from his cell, traveling across the wastelands of the Mythic Wild West to find his kidnapped fiancé. Taken by a cadre of daemons at the county fair, it is revealed that Jack has been searching for his love, Alice, this whole time— taking his M16 to, what he believed, were the shadowy forces that kidnapped the young woman. Jack moves through the psycho-spiritual realms of his mutilated unconscious, forced to face the violence of his fragile masculinity, the brutality of his colonial whiteness, and the wickedness of his very being. But, as the drama unfolds, we come to see that Alice is, perhaps, not simply the reified feminine ideal that Jack has conjured but, instead, a being far beyond the control of daemons, Jack, or anything at all-- besides her very will of self.
