Audiences will follow father/daughter cave explorers Nel and Apa on a forbidden expedition into "the Maw" in search of a mysterious source of clean energy. Their journey blends Ancient Greek drama, Taíno folklore, and cosmic horror into a single, crystalline question: what would you sacrifice to save everything?

In addition to the cast, the production features scenic design by George Tsourounakis, lighting design by Emma Wills-Umdenstock, costume design by Madjanah Walters, and assistant direction by Camila Madero. The technical director is Michael Turner and the production stage manager is Ellery Cordes. Tickets are available now at newrelictheatre.org/upcoming.

New Relic Theatre presents plays that honor the vividness of the human experience—ancient and modern, well-remembered and near-forgotten. NRT engages artists and audiences alike with unexpected, lush, and playful work that recontextualizes the theatrical canon.
