From the archives of unbridled thought comes a series of short-form plays. Dark, sassy, brutish, and with no two acts alike, these dreamlike vignettes seek to explore the nature of our inner landscape. Stories of lost love, catastrophic whimsy, nature’s revenge, reckless desire, debts to the Devil, and retribution from the Gods. .
