AFTER THE BLAST
(Midwest Premiere)
Written by Zoe Kazan | Directed by JD Caudill*
May 13th - June 11th, 2022
Generations after a global disaster has driven humankind into underground cities, partners Anna and Oliver are hoping to have a child - even though Anna's struggles with depression may prevent them from gaining the government approval needed to become parents. But when Oliver brings home a small robot - a new companion they name "Arthur" - their lives are changed forever. Zoe Kazan's smart and incisive play asks, "When the future seems bleak, how do we form bonds and build lives in the face of uncertainty?"
JD Caudill* makes their BNT Mainstage directorial debut.
