The War of the Worlds commissioned by Indiana Repertory Theatre

In September, I was hired onto the IRT Artistic Team as their next James Still Playwright in Residence. As a part of this three-year residency, I get to develop a new play for the theatre: an adaptation of H. G. Wells’ science fiction survival story The War of the Worlds. My adaptation will touch on themes of individualism and community, survival, and what it means to stay human in a moment of full-blown disaster - and will, of course, be eerie, thrilling, and fun!
