Description

A play that changes with each performance, based on the roll of the dice: In the Castle of Eternal Sunset follows two teenage boys as they play their final session of Dungeons & Dragons on an autumn day in 2004. As the teenagers roll to see what happens next, their different possible futures slowly unfold, both in and outside the game.

During the play, audience members will be prompted to read aloud fragments of text from their seats, determined randomly by the fall of the dice. The texts contain the hundreds of different possibilities of how the boys’ lives might unfold. Their fates, then, are never fixed until the die rolls each performance, setting them on their path - and the audience speaks their futures into being.

CASTLE is rated PG-14 for strong language and challenging themes.
