Overview:

Play | 4

22 years in the future, two lab assistants hatch a plan that could change the world. All they need are a few volunteers.

A raucous and provocative play about sacrifice, ambition, and honeybees.

Script now available via Dramatists Play Service.

Telling the bees.
You knock on the hives –
Knock, like – “knock knock” -
And tell the bees
About important events in your life.
Death, marriages, babies,
Whatever.
