Bonefruit

by Leah Plante-Wiener

In a chapel in the middle of the desert, two girls meet for the first time in years. Together, they must grapple with their beliefs, an act of forgiveness, and the thought of an existence beyond the violence that has forged them.

    "Bonefruit" is an intimate, fascinating look at people in a post-apocalyptic world. As the world changes, as people change, and the rules of society change, how does that affect one of the most vitally important aspects of being human - connection. A beautiful read and I am sure a beautiful production.

    There is so much fascinating and intricate detail worked into this short, intimate play that you can't help but want to take a peek outside the confines of the scene we're shown to see the elaborate world in which these characters live.
