🎭 MPAACT world premiere captures a dystopian future with uncertain prophecies. | ✍️ Kelly Kleiman

is a fable: a story whose moral applies to circumstances other than those being described. Determining whether that moral is “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” or “You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything,” or even “We have met the enemy and he is us” is one of the many pleasures of MPAACT’s world premiere of Addae Moon’s play.

To say more about the plot would spoil the fun, but director Lauren “LL” Lundy manages to create a world well worth immersing yourself in. Her casting is impeccable: the evil Chancellor is portrayed by Andrew Malone with a creepy bonhomie featuring a Mao-like smile that has nothing to do with good humor.
