Into the Fire
Set against the evocative and extreme landscape of the Alaskan wilderness, Into the Fire explores the boundaries between the personal and the political when a woman’s awakening throws a remote island community into chaos. A story about the search for identity in the last frontier, the play is peopled with characters living in isolation on the outer edges of America where landscape makes an indelible mark on the psyche and imagination, giving rise to personalities as enlarged and extreme as the place they inhabit. Described as “Magic Realism with an Alaskan twist” Into the Fire also explores betrayal, rebirth, and community.
