FULL LENGTH - IN DEVELOPMENT: When an entire country club of athletes get taken out by a rogue bout of measles, a motley crew of mall-rink figure skaters find themselves on a flight to Croatia to compete in the World Synchronized Figure Skating Championships as first-alternates. As they train, complain, destroy, and rebuild each other on their quest to achieve the impossible, something even darker looms on the edges of the global stage: a nuclear arms race. This play asks the hard questions, like: Where is Croatia again? // What the hell is Putin’s problem? // Why is Tall Heather Co-Captain and not me? // Where can we find relief and the strength to go on when it feels like the world is only out to destroy us?
The Rink at the End of the World is a comic experiment in synchronization, surreality, and apocalyptic survival that uses the high octane, high stakes, high learning curve emotional drivers of teenage girls to capture a contemporary sense of doom that younger generations might feel living in a world uninvested in its own future and instead invested in its own demise.
