THIS FEELS LIKE THE END

by Bonnie Duff

Presented as part of the 2024 Next Stage Theatre Festival

One morning, all over the world, the sun doesn’t rise. Or the next morning. Or the next. 

Faith, folklore, and conspiracy collide when five individuals seek answers amidst a sudden new reality. In Toronto, a mother and her child grapple with the unexplainable. Some prepare for the Second Coming. One returns home to Finland’s far North, to people who have, for centuries, lived in darkness for months of the year.

What do you do when the world keeps spinning on… even after what feels like the end?
