fire work - National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere

The VORTEX presents the National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere of fire work by Mary Glen Fredrick, a new dystopian comedy blazing with revolution. The thrills and twists of this fierce, anti-capitalist fable challenge us to step into a fantastical world complete with fireworks and “Eat the Rich” games. It explores survival, love, and the explosive cost of complacency in a system designed to consume us.
