The King Is Alive
“As the sand shifts... madness nears.”
Drama
Stranded in the heat of a barren African desert, eleven bus-passengers shelter in the remnants of an abandoned town. As rescue grows more remote by the day and anxiety deepens, an idea emerges: why not stage a play. However the choice of King Lear only manages to plunge this disparate group of travelers into turmoil as they struggle to overcome both nature's wrath and their own morality.
VIBE
A raw, unsettling descent into desperation. Stranded strangers confront their inner demons and the harshness of existence, using theater as a fragile shield against madness. It's a stark, character-driven examination of humanity pushed to its limits.
