“Christie”
In a time not too far away from right now, a young newlywed couple finds themselves at odds over the smallest, and somehow most important, thing: Bees. Over the course of an improbably long afternoon, the play explores the impossibility of selflessness, the sincerity of belief, and if it’s worth holding out hope for the last bee on earth.
