The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are all celebrating the anniversary of the end of the world. Monty (Pestilence) has been living in a beautiful beach front house on the shores of Lincoln, Nebraska (because the sea levels have wiped out the rest of the south), and he invites his brothers Sam (War) and Schuldiner (Death), and his sister Heide (Famine), all over to reminisce about their new found freedom. Given human traits and emotions, these 4 supreme beings of destruction were bread for a single purpose, but now that that mission is over...what do they do? Completely lost in this new world, they try desperately to think of a way to restart humanity to give it another go. Inspired by ronin samurai who have no master, this devastating comedy-drama tackles issues like self-worth, global warming, the existence of god, and many more.

    Alltop's critique of humanity's fast-track to the finish line is equal parts excoriating and silly. A refreshing, exciting addition to the theatre world.

    The second I read the description of this piece I was intrigued and I wasn't disappointed! A truly brilliant concepts with brilliant characters. Each character has a lovely unique voice and the back and forth dialogue flows along nicely.
