Two crestfallen strangers find themselves in peculiar situations after they each have separate, unsuccessful suicide attempts. In a world where every time someone takes their own life, another dies too, they each realize that it could be best to form a suicide pact with someone else who craves death. After setting out to find the perfect person for their pacts, they find each other. Through devising the perfect plan to seal their fates, they form an unforeseen emotional connection.
Will their desire for each other surpass their desires for death? Find out at Double Takes, running March 7th - 22nd at the Planet Ant Black Box.
This emotionally driven dark comedy highlights queer intimacy, absurdist themes, a
dystopian world, and the complex emotions within us all.
