Scena Theatre presents the World Premiere of The Last Drop, a new drama by Australia’s John Shand.
This play will be presented at the DC Arts Center from April 15 – May 12, 2024. The timing of this play is eerily apropos given the many economic troubles, environmental issues, and cultural clashes now taking place in the US.
Western civilization collapses during an economic upheaval and water becomes scarce. Pestilence, violence and war drive people from the cities. Mary and Joe survive in the sand-dunes, desalinating sea water with a ramshackle still. They eat insects and random crustaceans. Their love is but a faded memory. Then, invaders arrive: Valentino is a shark of a trader. Esmeralda is his accomplice and whore. One ill-fated night in their company tears Mary & Joe apart. Hidden truths emerge that leave Mary at her wit’s end with just one way out. This sparks a new world order that alters the course of history.
