The Escape: A Confrontation in Four Scenes
By David Brin
- Release Date: 2020-07-07
- Genre: Theater
One of the oldest notions in fantasy is a hero’s confrontation with the supernatural. Humans are forever pondering some way to change the hand they’re dealt. From Gilgamesh and Odysseus to Faust and Daniel Webster, fascinating characters have tried arguing with fate or divine will… or the Devil.
Here, with a hyper-modernist and rather science-fictional take on that theme, comes author and scientist David Brin, ready to share some fun with you, along with fresh takes on Genesis and Babel, destiny and randomness, reshuffling the deck and challenging the Grand Order of Things.
A script ideal for table or lectern presentation.
