Approx. Run Time: 40 min.

Set against the futuristic society of the World State, where human beings are genetically bred into a strict caste system, individuality is spurned, and conformity is celebrated, this chilling tale of an alarming tomorrow depicts an existence where real emotion is rare and true freedom is nowhere to be found. The play follows Bernard Marx, a man who considers himself to be an outsider; Lenina Crowne, who senses she is meant for something more than pleasure and escapism; and John “the Savage,” who longs to be a part of this “civilized” culture. Their paths and interactions lead them into the uncharted territories of friendship, love, lust and outrage, culminating in a rebellious outbreak against the technology that reins them in, the mind-numbing drugs they are fed daily, and the regime that seeks to control their spirits as well as their souls.

This play takes on society's innate fear of the unknown through vignettes that humorously illustrate the lengths to which people will go in order to avoid the latest threat to their health, whether it is real or imagined. The concept of a manufactured health crisis is the perfect vehicle to illustrate our cultural gullibility when it comes to medicine, disease and our predisposition for panic and irrational reaction when it comes to our well-being.
