About "Brainpeople": In almost-apocalyptic Los Angeles, an orphaned heiress invites two strangers into her penthouse apartment for an eccentric feast. What starts off as an odd evening, devolves into chaos, as the splintering minds of these three women begin to show their cracks. Surrounding the apartment, a catastrophic incomprehensible “war” rages. What kind of war? We have no idea. Who is it between? We can only guess. We get snippets of information: checkpoints on every block, torture of political dissidents, private armies owned by the wealthy and riots with people shouting “eat the rich.” Brainpeople is an engrossing descent into the inner realms of three isolated women, who although distinct, share defining traumatic moments and the desire to seek connection in a world of chaos, violence and apathy. Award-winning playwright, José Rivera, uses his distinct lyricism and fearless imagination to plunge us into a dystopian world, not too far from our own.
About "Far Away": In a world very much like our own, hat makers labor at extravagant masterpieces. An aunt tells her niece the truth. No one can be trusted—especially not the crocodiles or car salesmen or children under five. In this concise though densely packed authoritarian epic one thing is clear: no one really knows what’s going on.
