The Box
by Ed Shockley

The Box is an allegorical comedy inspired by the myths of Prometheus and Pandora.

A childlike character, Epth, lands on a desolate beach holding a box said to contain the answers to every question.

Embarking on a quest for survival and something like enlightenment, Epth must contend with a mischievous imp, an addle-brained zealot, a fearsome ferry driver, and a wise-cracking, shape-shifting beast.

Encounters with these four magical and zany figures constantly redefine Epth's adventure, which parallels the significant developmental stages in life.
