ABOUT THIS PLAY
– New York Stage Review
It's twenty-two years in the future, and honeybees are nearly extinct except for those kept alive inside synthetic apiaries where they live year-round in perpetual spring. When an unfortunate incident leads to a boost in the bees' numbers, lab assistants Zora and Pilar must decide how far they're willing to go to keep the population growing.
Sci-fi meets dark comedy and ecological fable in this thought-provoking play from award-winning writer and composer Kate Douglas. The Apiary takes us into a not-too-distant future where the negative effects of bee decline have inarguably manifested and a workable solution is not apparent. It is a call to action, a meditation on sacrifice and ambition, and asks us to reconsider our relationship to nature and each other.
