ABOUT THE PLAY

The first piece in a science fiction trilogy that follows a love story between two men from when they're 11-year-old pen pals until the end of the world nearly 50 years later.

Teddy Passanante and Anzor Khasanov are eleven-year-old pen pals. Teddy is an unathletic, half-Korean nerd living in a liberal U.S. made up of what used to be Blue States. Anzor is the child of Muslim refugees trapped in a militant right-wing Christian theocracy that used to be the Red States. The boys know their correspondence is mandated and monitored by Anzor’s government. This is a love story.
