Eighth grader Rayna hasn’t reported to school on Monday morning. Her mother died several years ago and her father, who is a truck driver, is on a long haul run and is making his way home. The school guidance counselor is assisting law enforcement to investigate the disappearance at school, interviewing everyone who knew her. What happened? Her social media account shows Tik-Tok challenges, selfies, check-ins and a video showing Rayna as a chicken, which cause the students at the school to cyber-bully her by sharing and commenting on the video and create a toxic environment for Rayna. Where is Rayna? Did she runaway? Is she hiding? Or something worse? Part mystery, part cautionary tale, I wanted to write something that would be engaging to middle school students, but also complicated and ask questions about the technologies that have become so engrained in many of their lives.

Bo, Triton and Hurley have never really gotten along that great. Competitiveness and divisiveness have always gone hand in hand with them being siblings, particularly as they became adults. When their mother dies, her last request is for them to finish the work she started as a marine-life vigilante and transport an octopus she’s stolen from poor conditions at a Florida aquarium to a friend in Maine who will release it back to the waters from which it came. Part road trip comedy, part family drama and part mystical pilgrimage; it’s a play that looks at the relationships of brothers and sisters, of man and animal and the benefits of not always being completely sober.
