Summary

Bell and Roe live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that is so far gone they don’t even remember a time when there were grocery stores, safe drinking water, or 911. They each live in isolation, until they happen to meet. Bell shows Roe a game: take off your mask and see if you can breathe. Try this vegetable, and see if you wake up. Read a poem. Do more than just not die.

Bell may also have ulterior motives. Roe’s shelter is stocked with years worth of canned goods and other priceless resources. Is their friendship true – or just another game?

History
Tomorrow Game premiered as a reading at Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA on 28 January 2021. The play was later presented in readings at Echo Theatre Dallas and the Kennedy Center.
