Actually, Honestly Going to Fucking Die

by Paige Zubel

80 minutes, no intermission.

*still in development*

A talking ice cream truck. Sand that breathes. Everyone's gay. And aliens. An Alice-in-Wonderland-esque exploration of addiction and early sobriety in young adults in America.

    Paige Zubel's ACTUALLY, HONESTLY GOING TO FUCKING DIE is a hybrid of science fiction and comedy that is beautifully constructed to tell the story of finding a sense of purpose in the midst of addiction recovery. Zubel's writing is very reminiscent of Noah Haidle and Caryl Churchill and yet is able to contemporize their styles of writing in one of the most original plays I have ever read.

    Wow this show is incredible! I have always been intrigued by absurdism but never felt called to it until this show. It is about very real struggles and the poetry of this piece is enlightening. The foreshadowing, character's, and stage directions are poetry in and of itself. Highly recommend this show!

    I don't like sand. It's coarse. Rough and irritating. You know how it goes. What I do love is this play. LIKE sand, it should get everywhere. Zubel's script is absolutely gobsmacking, insightfully and absurdly shining bright, bright light on alcoholism and sober life. To say much more would spoil the beauty of its shifts and movements, but rest assured that a full company would have a powerful, enthralling time creating the imagery here. God, how I would love to see this live.
