About the Show
Absolute Zero is a gleeful reclamation of the patriarchal and often sexist spy genre: a classic form in a decidedly new wineskin. Absolute zero is the lowest temperature known to humanity. It’s just a theoretical construct that’s never actually been reached — until now. By terrorists. But when the CIA’s top agent — sexy lesbian lothario Sam Knight — is called in to investigate, she never expected that in order to save humanity, she’d have to excavate her own past. Fueled by a contemporary pop-rock and jazz score,
Absolute Zero is a taut, funny musical thriller written for a cast of female, trans, and gender-nonconforming performers.
