JÄRNÄGGLUNGA

by Nate Hollander

It’s the end of the world, probably. And the giant egg-shaped hibernation device (a.k.a.: “JÄRNÄGGLUNGA”) isn’t going to fix itself. Porky needs his mother Lili to hibernate so she doesn’t die. Patricia Smelt needs Lili’s signature so she can make it to her next appointment. And Lili really needs a friend. Because things have been tough. Everyone’s got it bad right now – but who’s got it worst?

    The collapse of the world is imminent and Lilli and Porky still don't know how to love without hurting each other in the process. With precise prose and odd characters, Yorflodguglia-- er, JÄRNÄGGLUNGA is a caustic and off-kilter play that will definitely haunt you!
