New Play Staged Reading

untitled anthropocene play: a meditation on life cycles and immortal jellyfish

January 26, 2024 at 7:30 p.m.

Poncho Forum

Join Seattle Rep's The Other Season new play development lab for a public play reading of untitled anthropocene play: a meditation on life cycles and immortal jellyfish by Benjamin Benne.

Sean and Nathanael are cousins, born just a few weeks apart in 1988. Every year they visit the same beach in Southern California (first as children, then as adults) to swim in the ocean, eat carne asada, and witness how their lives, their bodies, and the natural world around them have changed year after year. Spanning 10 billion years in the life of the earth, Benjamin Benne’s Seattle Rep 20x30 Commission is a theatrical meditation on human and ecological transformation, intimacy between men, and the cycles of life and death that shape our existence.
