Plenty of Fish in the Sea
A fantastical and absurdist fable that begins as a story of rescue and becomes an unsettling dissection of dreams and desire. Grappled with dating apps? This theatrical world wildly casts a different kind of net that has us caught - hook, line, and sinker!
This is a darkly humorous and physically adventurous contemporary fable about finding the perfect catch.
