End of the World with Symposium to Follow(1987)

End of the World with Symposium to Follow is a satirical play that explores humanity's darkest anxieties through absurdist comedy. A wealthy millionaire commissions a theatrical production meant to confront the existential threat of nuclear annihilation. As the play unfolds, it becomes a meta-commentary on art, power, and our collective inability to grapple with catastrophe. The work blends intellectual provocation with dark humor, questioning whether art can meaningfully address global destruction or merely serve as entertainment for the privileged. Through sharp dialogue and theatrical conceits, the piece examines how we rationalize the irrational and whether a symposium following the performance can offer any real answers to civilization's most pressing concerns.
