Somewhere: A Primer for the End of Days

by Marisela Treviño Orta

A play originally commissioned and produced by Temple University's Theater Department. Three men and three women face the possible end of the world. These people all in the 20s and 30's include an entomologist, a mathematician, an engineer, a librarian, a contractor, and his employee. A play full of melancholy and a touch of whimsy.

Incredibly disappointing. The story of a good play is attempting to escape from the cliché and stilted language. It tries to be both magic realism and gritty realism, and fails to commit to either. This was very obviously a first draft that needs to be workshopped, streamlined, and not just given a pass because of the prior experience of the playwright.
