At the Breakaway

What begins as a slacker comedy about a small group of drifting young adults working at a futuristic refueling station in space quickly turns dramatic when they are besieged by what appears to be a roving band of genocidal maniacs.

    A plot that has you at the edge of your seat asking questions about who we are, our place in the universe and whether we're right or wrong. Well done.

    WOW. This play is a stunner, from beginning to end. It feels like the horror grandchild of Firefly in the very best possible way. AT THE BREAKAWAY had me guessing from beginning to end -- and while it's a successful scifi thriller set in the future, the heart of this play asks deep questions that are immediate to our moment in time... questions about armament, about military, about the choices governments give to individuals, and the cost of those choices. Beautiful, haunting, thrilling.
