Overview
An intrepid troupe of pageant players races across medieval Europe,
struggling to outrun the Black Death. The arrival of a mysterious
outsider sends Hollis, the leading lady, in search of answers that can
only be found off-script... and soon the 14th-century plague begins to
look like another, more recent one. This wildly inventive and funny new
work examines the evolution of human creativity in a dark age: When does
a crisis destroy us, and when does it open new frontiers?
