The end of the year is approaching. And a faction of people think the Mayan's predicted 2012 to be the end of the world. While I don't personally believe that (I have far too much stuff to do) this idea overall may provide an interesting opportunity. And opportunity to bring back the Apocalypse Plays cycle.
Now, if you've been following my blog from the beginning (although that seems unlikely) you'll know this blog actually started out as an account of my senior project: Apocalypse Plays. Apocalypse Plays consists of three pieces that make up one evening of theatre: Bathtub Safety (a ten-minute play), The Button (a fifteen to twenty minute solo piece), and Regarding Eden (a one-act). While none of them connect fully, they all center around what happens during/after the end of the world and/or in the rebuilding of the world.
Recently, the thought hit me. What if I bring them back? Sure, my senior project wasn't that long ago (2010 to be exact [boy I like parenthesis today]) but the world is different now. I'm different now. My aesthetic as a writer and a performer is different now. Not only does the cosmic moment seem right but the personal moment seems right.
The idea is in no-way solidified but I'm certainly considering it. I should work harder on getting my other cycle off the ground.
Yet, the thought continues to linger in my brain.
