Into the Fire

A woman’s awakening throws a remote island community into chaos in this two-act play set in an isolated Alaskan fishing town. At the height of the crisis, a mysterious man is washed ashore, setting the town and it’s inhabitants on fire in more ways than one. Into the Fire explores betrayal, rebirth, and community in a style that can be best described as Magic Realism with an Alaskan twist.
