FULL LENGTH: Fifteen years after more than half of Earth's population suddenly vanished in an event referred to as "The End," a group of survivors finds themselves taking refuge in an underground bunker with as many secrets as it has broken cameras, mysterious screens, and locked doors. Led by Julia, the survivors have formed a tense semi-familial dynamic over their time together, but their bonds are tested when their only exit leading to the surface locks behind them. The survivors soon learn that their only hope in escaping from their new prison lies in uncovering the truth behind the bunker and its previous inhabitants... including one denizen who has stuck around, all these years later. Watching. Listening. Waiting.

    Sam Heyman's home wear hart is an eerie play - taking place at the end of the world. How do we save ourselves? Who do we rely on? The challenges they face in the bunker they find and between each other will keep you on the edge of your seat. A feat of creativity by Sam Heyman. Well done!

    This fascinating full length play by Sam Heyman is what happens when you take a healthy dose of Silo, add in a bit of The Stand, and wrap it all in Rashomon to come up with something unique. Heyman let's the story unfold gradually. The world-building is seamlessly built into the dialogue. There is a meaningful reveal on every page as he slowly peals the onion. In so doing, Heyman has created a compelling post-apocalyptic tale that will have you thinking about it long after it's over.

    Heyman's dystopian tale could easily be a stage, film, zoom or audio production. Its structure is well crafted; its form following function with its literal layers, repetitions, shifting points of view. The topics raised are sadly all too relevant to today. It's dystopian, yes, but also about moving forward, staying grounded in the human need for creation, self-knowledge/acceptance and the love of family. Well done, playwright.
