Venus, and What Else Is Nocturnal
by Broke Thespian's Theatre Company

Dec. 07
Saturday

“We don’t have to talk. We shouldn’t talk. It’s best if we don’t. Just don’t… leave me here. I know you need it too. Someone nearby.”

Venus, And What Else Is Nocturnal follows a series of interrelated characters, including a disaster prepper who obsessively boards up his windows against storms, slowly being consumed by a fear of water. Across town, the lonely moderator of a local gossip website develops a strange love for her newest target and implodes when she realizes it isn't mutual. A dead high-school golden boy recounts the swimming stunt that cost him his life while immortalizing him as a legend. As the characters’ lives collide, the line blurs between the digital and physical worlds, exploring the strangeness of loneliness and legend telling in a small town. 

Directed by BIlly Malloy.
