Description: Written for the Orange County Playwrights Alliance 2026 Embark Festival Two flat-earth conspiracists prepare to take a fatal voyage, while an artist-in-residence at a remote facility articulates a final word. Indra and Callum depart on an amateur sailing expedition to prove that Antarctica is in fact not a continent, but an oppressive wall of ice at the edge of the world. Propelled by each other's convictions, they slowly uncover the different roots of their beliefs, which threaten to unravel their once-shared reality. Lynne, the final participant of the Antarctic Artists and Writers Program, struggles to complete her commission while assisting underfunded environmental researchers on Ross Island. When her own scholarship is unexpectedly cut, she begins to sense another force beyond her creative block: the Antarctic itself orchestrating her certain doom. An apocalyptic comedy set at the intersection of science and art and paranoia, where leaders stoke ignorance in order to make a profit out of decline. | |
