Fiona Gorry-Hines’ Columbia MFA Playwriting Thesis

2030. A mother and her child tread water with a delivery person in a flooding Greenwich Village apartment during a category four hurricane. 2060. A group of rogue individuals struggle to find new identities and homes in the wreckage of once familiar landscapes. 2090. The firstborn of a self-governed settlement questions whether to follow his own will or the will of his people.

It Will Rise Soon Enough is a cross-generational work of speculative theatre that examines how we might be forced to rethink our relationships to labor and capital as it pertains to our identities as we face increasingly dramatic changes to our climate.
