A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere.
When the system sparks a fight, who will dare to light the fuse?
By day, Eleanor and Bartholomew toil in the glass factory. By night, they light up the skies with fireworks. But when sweeping reforms threaten their already-precarious reality, Eleanor becomes the unexpected leader of a ragtag band of revolutionaries determined to send a message to the powers that be.
With heist thrills and disturbingly funny twists, fire work ignites a fierce, anti-capitalist fable for our times; set in a heightened, slightly absurd world where past and future blur, it explores survival, love, friendship, and the explosive cost of complacency in a system built to burn us out.
Fierce, funny, and haunting, this deeply original play delves into labor, power, and community, illuminating issues of economic disparity and the fight for agency. A Rolling World Premiere with the National New Play Network, fire work crackles with urgency and heart, offering a visceral theatrical experience that sparks reflection on the world we live in today.
