A man grappling with who he is and dragging his wife along for the ride.
A family trying to maintain appearances and grappling with the greatest moral quandary of their lives.
A meet-cute blossoming into a love story and transforming into a zombie road movie.
A nurse trying to keep it together and her patients are dying quicker and quicker.

Overflowing operatic language,
a world unafraid of its own theatricality,

A speculative fable for a suffocating planet
&
An ambitious climate change epic.
