    “ A rich apocalyptic world held with delicacy and desperation. Ritualistic and human at once. A wonderful piece. ”

    “ Loved this short sci-fi play. A play about two people reconnecting and learning how they've changed when things got desperate. The play features some killer monologues for those looking. ”
