The year is 2031. California has seceded from the union but the Barbarians are coming to take back the Golden State. In this adaptation of Aeschylus’s Seven Against Thebes, a playwright struggles with the challenges of creating theater in a world that’s falling apart. How do you speak truth to power when the truth might destroy you?
Written by Boni B. Alvarez
