“Do not go gentle into that good night.” ~ Dylan Thomas

Change doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and it certainly
doesn’t happen quietly. Opposition against social
injustice and oppressive governments can erupt
through sit-ins, protests, riots and civil war.

Readings from the works of Henry David Thoreau,
punctuated by a John Cage score, intertwine to create
an avant-garde musical theatre piece that challenges
the status quo.
