This was not a bad issue but is was disjointed from the rest of the series. We are introduced to a group of women that put on plays. It was fun to hear their story and see others surviving in this world. I did miss having the main cast present and not continuing where the last arc ended was a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully it gets back on track soon.
