SYNOPSIS We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but is that just a myth? Mining the comedy of missed connections, This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning a great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.

“Affecting… the characters are drawn with empathy and humor, and the cascading series of coincidences neatly illustrates the idea that, as the title suggests, we are all hostages to chance.” – The New York Times

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR This Random World is an intriguing play about connections, near connections, and missed connections, among other things. There are very funny moments, sad moments, and a few sort of perplexing moments. I fell in love with this play when I first read it several years ago as part of a Zoom reading group. Everyone else in the reading loved it too, but I am the lucky one who gets to direct it for Renegade Theatre Company! – Director, Wayne Kelley
