New York City
The Graveyard Shift is a play about what happens when life doesn’t exactly pan out as you’d hoped it would. Marley is working at Sparky’s Burger Barn in her hometown after having tried to make it in New York, to no success. She’s stuck on the graveyard shift working with Dev, the biggest slacker in the world, who has grand dreams of making it as a writer. Casey is the assistant manager at Sparky’s, trying her hardest to make the best out of her situation. We find them in midst of balancing existential dread, dealing with the boss Carl, and having a prank war. The Graveyard Shift shows us what happens when we begin to appreciate where we are instead of where we could be.
