While one could argue that this delicious, intimate play is about a horrifying pandemic, it really delivers universal messages about the powers of grief and fear. Even at the end of the world, we see man's propensity to assign blame to the other... but what I love most about this piece is the stunning, subtle implication that the key to resilience in this post-apocalyptic landscape is love. There are a few really stunning lines that took my breath away, but I'll let you discover them! Gorgeous!

Jacquie checks all of the boxes in this two-hander rife with suspense. Odd location (Funeral Parlor), unique character situation (strangers, apocalypse happening outside), tension (either could be infected by whatever it is). Jacquie leaves so much open to interpretation, but not the fear, and not the reality of Arlo and Zoe that builds tension as the show grows. Love this show! Highly recommend.

I think what is most brilliant here is we don't know what is happening outside this scene. Something is ravaging the Earth, that much we know, but what exactly? We know it's enough to cause this much distress between these two characters and enough to create that amount of distrust. I love a Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn play because she is great at building tension and keeping you on the edge of your seat. Lovely work!
