Shrike: a Legion Cycle play

90-100 minutes, 4w, 2nb, 1m (trans)

When the alien Legion came, Sheena lost everything. All she has left is one final, unlikely dream: the Rebellion. But when she arrives, it’s to a Rebellion shattered by the loss of its leader, pushed to increasingly desperate measures – including working with their alien enemy. As tensions mount, Sheena has to face the question: when you have nothing left, what do you fight for?

Shrike received its world premiere production with Fresh Ink Theatre in February 2022, directed by Josh Glenn-Kayden. Originally scheduled for live performance, it was instead presented as a digital streaming experience. It was previously developed through TC Squared Theatre Company and Company One Theatre’s PlayLab Fellows program.
