The Unfathomable Blue

Recommended by

  • Shaun Leisher: The Unfathomable Blue by Hannah Vaughn
    “

    This play feels like it starts out as a sci-fi comedy about the mundanity of post-apocalyptic life but quickly shift into a straight up political thriller. Hannah Vaughn is really good at creating complex worlds and filling them with honest characters. Really want to see what directors and designers come up with to bring this play to life on stage.
