Party like it’s the apocalypse

When our narrator M—a sharp-witted, 20-year-old drag performer—discovers their father, Greg, has been diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer, the whole Murphy family is thrown into chaos. As Greg spends sleepless nights watching nature documentaries, he becomes convinced that he is the Earth—and that both he and the planet are being taken down by their own “Big C’s”: his cancer and climate change.

From surprise visits from Greta Thunberg to extinct-animal support groups, Seattle favorite Keiko Green’s darkly funny and wildly imaginative new play blends fantastical storytelling with heartfelt family drama. You are cordially invited to party like it’s the apocalypse and take part in the cathartic celebration of love, loss, and everything in between.

Please note: This co-production will take place in the Leo K. Theater at Seattle Rep. Learn more about visiting Seattle Rep and their ticket policies here.
