Undiscovered Country by Festival Playwright-in-Residence Christine Quintana.

A surrealist and poetic look at the end of the Anthropocene, through the eyes of a lonely young woman who wakes up one day to find herself slowly leaving her human form. Evolving backwards (or is it forwards?) her consciousness shifts as she bids farewell to the worries and harms of human life and looks forward to becoming a greater part of a dying — or changing — planet. Inspired by poetry, futurist literature, and life in dismal times, Undiscovered Country is a darkly funny look at the world after us.

Reading will be immediately followed by a talkback with the playwright and director.
