Blevins does a great job creating this picnic for endlings. A party for animals that are the last of their kind. These animals are forced to face their mortality and I love how they all face it a bit differently. Should they just be grateful they are still around? Should they ruminate on their loneliness? Should they revolt? We are able to learn so much about these character in such a short number of pages. Your heart breaks for these animals knowing that this is a future for them that is not far off.

Existential dread of mortality is on the menu alongside a heaping portion of guilt for the damage we humans cause. Fantastic dialogue and very well defined characters stand out throughout this short comedy. Would be a ton of fun for actors too.

A lovely and haunting piece about the environment that finds humor alongside pathos. It was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it.
