Emily Bice's BEFORE THE FLOOD To Debut At The Chain Theatre in September
This play turns the story of Noah's Ark into a full-hearted, feminist exploration of what we owe to each other - and to our planet - in times of crisis.
Emily Bice's new play before the flood will run at the Chain Theatre Main Stage from September 8th-18th.
A family dramedy inspired by ~actual~ Biblical events, Emily Bice's before the flood is a contemporary reimagining of the night Noah told his family that a flood was coming, and that they were the only ones being saved. But what about the ones left behind? Brimming with humor and poignancy, this play turns the story of Noah's Ark into a full-hearted, feminist exploration of what we owe to each other - and to our planet - in times of crisis.
