Earthquake

Mad Cat Theatre Company returns to the South Beach Comedy Festival with a new play Earthquake written and directed by company member Jessica Farr. In an attempt to crawl out of obscurity and find himself relevant once again, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Trevor Winston writes a new “hard hitting, important play” bent on changing the lives of its audience members. But as the play passes through the producer’s fingers, the rehearsal process, and the egos of those presenting the work onstage, Trevor discovers he is creating “sensationalist disaster porn disguised as altruism.” With his eyes set on a successful Broadway opening that doesn’t completely overlook his original intentions, Trevor finds himself compromising his work for all the wrong reasons. What happens in the eleventh hour when all of his choices hang in the balance and fate grasps him in its hands? Earthquake may just shake up Broadway after all.
