The Peachlanders

Recommended by

  • Abigail Cady: The Peachlanders by Lyra Nalan
    “

    Equal parts fantasy and philosophy, The Peachlanders shows how seemingly small choices build into unexpected and sometimes dangerous moral stances. This modern take on the ancient parable asks whether utopia can exist and leaves one wondering if it ever should. The Peachlanders is an ambitious play with beautiful imagery and hefty questions.
