There is an expansive mystical world that does not have a name (it does have a name shhhh) where they worship bees. We won’t tell you about it at all (we will a little), but we’re freaking out and we’ve been given a stage to freak out on (not in the contract [there is no contract]). The title is a lie—so is the show. It’s actually about friendship now.

“As the Farm Representative addresses the audience, Rabia rewrites the Bible while Chrysanthemum prepares to leave” reads a stage direction from the upcoming world premier production of The Book of Chrysanthemum. The play follows three characters who live in a post-post-post-post apocalyptic world run by a mysterious entity called The Academy, a place we never see. The Farm Representative oversees all activity on the Farm, where all our action takes place, and reports back to The Academy. Rabia and Chrysanthemum are workers on the Farm, where they help to harvest typewriter parts from the endless orchards which are then shipped off to The Academy on blimps to be used for…something. One day, two strange documents fall from a passing blimp and Rabia and Chrysanthemum find them. They get unwittingly swept up into the plans of those in charge, and their lives become more and more altered as they each try to take flight and rise above the mayhem of a partially rebuilt world. As the stage direction states, all that happens in the play is that the Farm Representative addresses the audience, Rabia rewrites the Bible, and Chrysanthemum prepares to leave.

Their conversation slowly began to find its way into my writing, and vice versa. Just kidding, they had no idea I was writing their words down. What follows is a transcription of the amalgamation of my thoughts and their words.
