Powerstories Theatre congratulates Katherine Vondy on being a finalist for the 2026 Voices of Women Festival. Our readers were captured by a propulsive plot that asks us to reflect upon what happens to the moral high ground when you’re trying to survive? We highly recommend this piece to theatres looking to produce engrossing works on ethics in an ecologically changing world.

A haunting, beautiful play about a couple trying to survive a world that hasn't quite yet ended. A terrifying but plausible view of the future that makes one question where loyalties lie. When everything is literally crumbling to dust and celebrities on TV are no longer relevant (and possibly even dead), is blood really thicker than water?

I read this play for #BAPF2021 and found myself instantly asking an imagined future version of me all of the questions the play asks of the characters. If the world goes to hell will I find a way to ride the wave or be swallowed by it? Do you give what you have to help someone now or squirrel it away for your own future? For all of the characters' flaws or tough choices they are incredibly decent human beings. And as big of an event as the future they are living in is, the play remains grounded and true.
