Pinch Point

90 minutes, 3nb, 3w (1 trans)

As climate change ravaged the Earth, those with money and power escaped into space, leaving behind the less fortunate to try and survive in the wreckage. Half a century later, a small group of said survivors stumble across a treasure trove left by one of those rich escapees, guarded by a cyborg tasked with keeping people like them out. When their first attempt to break in results in an injury that’s quickly becoming lethal, the group must figure out how to defeat the guard - or find a way to convince them to change sides.

Pinch Point was a featured script at the 2023 Valdez Theatre Conference in Alaska. Prior to that, it was workshopped and received a staged reading with Flat Earth Theatre in March 2023.
