FULL-LENGTH: “Cellmates” is a feminist, absurd and existentialist full length drama. D and K are the two cellmates engaged in this immersive, dark, oftentimes comical, transformative play.

D (preferably played by a gender fluid woman) is doing time for manslaughter. Involuntary, she quickly points out to K, (man, a little overweight) her new cellmate, in the opening of the play. K introduces himself as a child abuser (not so fond of girls we later learn…).

Shortly after these introductions are made, an old maid (senior woman) enters. She offers D and K some good old fashioned English tea and you soon realize this is no ordinary prison. No who are these people? And where are they?

This is the play’s take off point, and from here the drama spirals downwards. On this highly intense transformative journey we get to meet several other absurd, charismatic characters (rest of cast). All, in some way or another, involved in shaping, and deeply influencing, D’s confined life in a prison cell.

The play ends with D alone in the cell. She’s decided to remain in there, only now, she’s the one with the keys. From now on she’s in charge of who gets to enter the cell and who, most importantly, doesn’t.
