Episode 29: Apocalyptic Theater

Todd, Nick, and Percy dive into theatre about the apocalypse and ask lots of (occasionally nihilistic) questions about how the end of the world figures into stories we tell onstage.

Spoiler warning: we do discuss several of the plays listed below in-depth, including their endings, so listen with caution!

Plays We Discussed:

Mr. Burns by Anne Washburn Wellesley Girl by Brendan Pelsue The Second World Trilogy by Scott Sickles Walden by Amy Berryman Sparks Fly Upwards by Eleanor Burgess Majorie Prime by Jordan Harrison R.U.R. by Karel Capek Thirst by C.A. Johnson Hurt Song by Caridad Svich The Listener by Liz Duffy Adams The Children by Lucy Kirkwood Marisol by Jose Rivera
