production information

What happens when we discover that our parents are flawed human beings, and that at some point, sooner than we think, they are suddenly going to disappear from our lives?

Intimate and funny, this play presents a lifetime of conversations, condensed into four versions of the same moment.

Gods are Fallen and All Safety Gone is a work-in-progress performance followed by a Question and Answer session with the company.
