Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers find the play to be a grim exploration of survival and friendship in a post-apocalyptic world. The heavy themes and dark atmosphere resonate with some, but others caution that it may not be suitable for all audiences due to its relentless bleakness.
Synopsis
Bell and Roe live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that is so far gone they don’t even remember a time when there were grocery stores, safe drinking water, or 911.
They each live in isolation, until they happen to meet.
Bell shows Roe a game: take off your mask and see if you can breathe.
Try this vegetable, and see if you wake up.
Read a poem.
Do more than just not die.
Bell may also have ulterior motives.
Roe’s shelter is stocked with years worth of canned goods and other priceless resources.
Is their friendship true – or just another game?

BELL F. Small. Whip smart but careful not to show it off. Gifted is not a thing anymore. Calculating but also sometimes impulsive. Tough but not that strong. A good liar. Lonesome. |
ROE F. Physically imposing. Not chatty but she is paying attention. Instinctive, careful. Athletes are not a thing anymore. Strong but only sometimes tough. A bad liar. Lonesome. |
