As they try to come up with the last verse of the final chapter of their sacred text (Floydians 9:29), division, shifting alliances and the deeply personal threaten the group’s cohesion and tests their faith in the possibility of a just society and a hopeful future.

This one-act play written for teenage performers is a meditation on martyrdom and the pursuit of justice.
