The Great Pistachio

BCA Plaza Black Box Theatre, 539 Tremont Street

In a post-apocalyptic world, two eccentric brothers, one buried in a hole writing the greatest play ever and the other reading every newspaper, team up with the last surviving girl to stage his masterpiece in an absurd comedy about the nature of play itself.

Future world-renowned artist, Bertrand Brambles, has buried himself in a dirt hole for decades to craft the greatest play ever written, uninfluenced by the world around him. His brother, Boris, has spent that time sitting in his chair attempting to read every newspaper ever written. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, the world outside has ended. The two brothers embark on the journey to mount this magnum opus with the only survivor they can find, a young girl, Beatrice. An absurdist comedy exploring the idea of what it means to play, even at the end.
