Synopsis

This satirical entry in the 19th Annual Humana Festival of New American Plays is fashioned as a seminar in which a lecturer offers preparedness advice on a spectrum of catastrophes.

Meanwhile his wife/assistant slowly and hilariously disintegrates in fear.

A second lecturer, the charismatic Arden Shingles, deftly makes her argument for why everyone in the audience should be packing a gun.

Written in 1997, it's even more relevant today as gun advocates and "preppers" play on our fears to make their case for self-defense.
