The year is 2108. Two stagehands, Mani and Kid, get stuck in a rundown New York City theatre as part of a standard nuclear warfare drill. As the threat of the world's end closes in on them, they debate the purpose of living in a world that’s poisoned the human experience, seeking answers to an impossible question: what is the point of trying if there’s nothing left to live for?
Don’t Panic is a bold, two-hander dark comedy about two stage hands who, stuck together during a nuclear lockdown drill, debate the purpose of living in a world that’s poisoned the human experience, seeking answers to an impossible question: what is the point of trying if there’s nothing left to live for? Merging comedy, drama, and magical realism, the play delves into the roles of purpose, ambitions, and individuality in a society that is doomed to fail.
