The year is 2465 and the United States is struggling with the ecological fallout from a massive and toxic algal bloom. An enclave of four communities in Massachusetts has what is believed to be the only remaining source of pure drinking water. A mysterious army threatens the protective walls of the citadel. Every citizen’s vote and voice has power in this miniature republic, as together they must decide what is best for the good of the community. Bitingly sharp and witty, Wellesley Girl explores themes of environmental destruction, collective action, and the power that our decisions have over future generations.

Wellesley Girl

Auburn University

At an isolated cottage by the sea on the east coast of England, two retired nuclear scientists ponder their future as the world outside begins to unravel around them. Just as they begin to make some progress, an old colleague arrives with a request that dramatically forces them to set aside their routine and reckon with the past. Come enjoy a staged reading of Lucy Kirkwood’s riveting, 2018 Tony Award-nominated play, and engage in lively post-show discussion.
