Synopsis
The world is full of questions, and answers are in short supply. Some people, however, believe they have found a way to bring order to the chaos. In the darkest corners of the internet, these enlightened few, who call themselves "Truth Seekers" but might be better known as conspiracy theorists, gather to discuss the harsh realities the rest of us are too afraid to confront. But as a desperate newcomer to this clandestine community soon discovers, some among their ranks may be harboring secrets of their own.
The Order of Chaos was a Finalist for the 2025 Rhinebeck Writers Retreat. It was first presented in August 2022 during a residency at the Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford.
