Middle, End

Amalia and Christopher meet in a public restroom under mysterious circumstances, and it's up to their friends to figure out what they're hiding - but some of those friends may be hiding secrets of their own. If everyone could stop the cross-talk and just sit down for a fucking second, maybe they'd all get somewhere.

Middle, End is an attempt to reconstruct the Shakespearean and Restoration part-script, and in the process recapture the spontaneity and surprise of a rehearsal process where the actors only learn the plot as it unfolds. Each actor is given their “part" containing only their lines and the final word or words of the line before it - their “cues.”
