A genre-blending theatrical work, the play follows five antisocial outsiders appointed as spokespeople for a mysterious coastal development, transforming their assignment into a surreal exploration of language and meaning.

Epigone

Epigone

A new script in development by Kevin Kerr 

In this play, Epigone’s brother has to travel into the wasteland (a ravaged landscape of resource extraction in the wilderness) to recover the body of his sister after news arrives of her sudden death. But the body is elusive, hard to find, as she’s also on a journey of her own. In a space between this world and next, Epigone herself is attempting to fulfill a decades long quest to recover the remains of her twin daughters, trapped in a sort of purgatory, and finally put their spirits to rest. World Premiere slated for 2026/27.
