Pandora's Shut-The-Box Game
written & created by Max Koh
a staged reading presented by Dacha Theatre
Hildy is trying to beat the shut-the-box game. Everyone keeps telling them that it’s a dumb pub game designed to keep drunk people occupied.
Evelyn is trying to stay calm. Her mom keeps calling and she’s afraid if she picks it up it will only end in disaster. So, she’s busying herself with thoughts of mushrooms, corvids, and Hildy’s entertaining determination to beat that stupid game.
Unfortunately, the World Government has decided to eradicate humanity at 8pm tonight.
Hildy has about 90 minutes to win.
The phone rings again.
Dacha Theatre is proud to continue our commitment to supporting new works by producing the staged reading of Max Koh's brilliant new script! If you enjoyed getting in on the ground floor of Girls School Memory Play this fall, or are hungry for another take on the end of the world after this winter's An Incomplete List..., you won't want to miss the staged reading of Max Koh's Pandora's Shut-The-Box Game!
