In a post-apocalyptic world, a great flood has claimed the land and many of its people. Two boats float aimlessly on an ocean that conceals the remains of civilization and history. One boat carries a father and daughter, the last survivors of an unspeakable catastrophe; the other carries the only hope for a new beginning. Daniel Macdonald crafts a stunning tale of myth and reality at the end of the world and at its creation. Daniel Macdonald is a playwright, director, and educator.
