Co-Produced with Theater Three Collaborative
A surreal, real, and satiric story of a mogul and his daughter locked in a titanic struggle, Another Life offers a whirl-wind trip through the past ten years. Greed, torture, war-lust and sexual enslavement vie with a subtle but growing resistance that leads to brave acts of caring and whistle-blowing. Another Life employs inventive language and memorable characters to bring to light questions of complicity and conscience in civil society.

Note: Tickets can be purchased for performances of “Another Life” on Sept. 9-11 on http://theaterthreecollaborative.org/index.php?id=another-life.
