Show Description
A star NFL running back, television news reporter, retired high school teacher, and a drummer for a popular heavy metal band are languishing in a cell inside a monument that has been converted into a prison for MAGA opponents. The far right-wing Christian Nationalist couple who run the prison are using any means necessary, including the threat of public execution, to “re-educate” them.
Set in the not-too-distant future, in which the United States has devolved into a full-blown authoritarian nation, the prisoners must decide whether they want to live or die.
This dystopian, action-filled drama comes from the creator of the 2022 KC Fringe Festival hit drama, “The Plume,” and two other KC Fringe Fest productions, “Slurry” (2018) and “John and Leslie are in the Copy Room Again” (2016)
This play contains profanity, gun violence, torture, and intense situations. It is intended for mature audiences only.
