It’s Friday night which can mean only one thing: friends, pretzels, and Dungeons and Dragons. Friends gather at a small apartment and await their dungeon master but as the minutes pass, it becomes clear he isn’t coming. Instead, they learn he is in crisis and the danger is no longer limited to a make-believe roleplaying game. Miles away and unable to help their friend, those gathered search for answers and try to understand how they could have failed to notice someone they loved was hurting.

Set against the backdrop of a typical Dungeons and Dragons game night, Polyhedral explores the helplessness we feel when our loved ones are in danger and we are in no position to help them. The play touches upon how people react to and process the threat of suicide and how groups of friends can find solace in one another.
