The 20/21 Season: November Digital Theatre Festival

2020 Finalist Maxim Mazumdar New Play Competition

Screaming into the Void
(and other poems)

by Kira Mason
directed by Katie Horwitz

Four very different one-dimensional female TV characters find themselves dropped into a strange abyss and left to rot in a void-like limbo. Soon, they become aware of each other’s presence, and begin to question ... what separates them and what brings them together.

Also, screaming and vandalism.

Currents: 716 and Alleyway's Digital Theatre Festival are made possible through the generous support of the Venturous Theatre Fund of the Tides Foundation
