It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world and so is RESCUE! Or, The Fish. This wild new play from The Wilbury Group's Resident Playwright Darcie Dennigan is an absurdist portrait of attitudes toward the global climate crisis. Guests at a "Recycling Party" enact their individual and collective anxieties in a loop that they cannot seem to exit, even in death.
Originally written for The Wilbury Group's resident artists by Darcie Dennigan, and presented by Studio W, the company's new works development program, RESCUE! Or, The Fish received a staged reading as part of the Wilbury Group's annual Festival of New Works in April 2019.
