Marianas Trench (Part One of The Second World Trilogy) by
9 Nov. 2019
“
Everything about this play absolutely stuns. In “Marianas Trench,” Sickles envisions a terrifying world after America’s second civil war, where politics, religion, racism, bigotry, and ideology have fractured blue states from red beyond repair. And reaching across the rift are two young men, desperate to connect with one another via government-redacted pen-pal letters. Our hearts ache for Anzor and Teddy, each on their own private journey of self-discovery. The imagery employed in this work is breathtaking, and leaves room for beautiful stage pictures to be created by designers, directors, and performers. Expertly crafted storytelling. ”
