Corey and Aimes are new recruits mending the wall that guards their city from an unnamed threat. But as their teacher Drew tells them subversive tales of the world outside they begin to wonder at the real purpose of the wall, until an unexpected act of passion tears the menders apart. Inspired by Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall", Menders is a hauntingly lyrical look at what we're walling out.

The production, presented by Flux Theatre Ensemble, will play a four-week engagement at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street at Washington Square South), January 19-February 11; January 19, 20 & 21 at 8pm, January 22 & 24 at 7pm, January 27 & 28 at 8pm, January 29 at 3pm, February 2, 3 & 4 at 8pm, February 7 at 7pm and February 8, 9, 10 & 11 at 8pm.
