Kyle Bass
To mark the fifth anniversary of the police murder of George Floyd, a diverse group of teens creates a new religion around their martyr. As they try to come up with the last verse of the final chapter of their sacred text (Floydians 9:29), division, shifting alliances and the deeply personal threaten the group’s cohesion, testing their faith in the possibility of a just society and a hopeful future. This one-act play written for teenage performers is a meditation on martyrdom and the pursuit of justice.
