This Beautiful Future

A Play by Rita Kalnejais
Directed by Jack Serio
Featuring Bill Buell, Francesca Carpanini, Angelina Fiordellisi, and Justin Mark

Caught in the middle of a war, two teenagers take shelter from a divided world. Elodie is French and 17. Otto, a German soldier, is 15. Safe from the debris outside, they meet secretly for one night. They talk, tease, and touch. They fall in love and fall through time. Kalnejais’ kaleidoscopic play is a story of uncomplicated first love in a very complicated world. It seeks out tenderness amidst tragedy. Hope in the hopeless.
