“Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
— Franz Kafka

“The script shines and the playwright writes with engaging dialogue.”

Karaoke at the end of the world

10 MINUTE PLAY. As natural disasters have destroyed California, Kris, Mari, and Jona rush to find a safe place, and they resort to the closest option: A karaoke room in Central Las Vegas, NV. Amidst the disco lights, soju, and their cellphones, they must come to terms with the end of the world.
