2030. A mother and her child tread water with a delivery person in a flooding Greenwich Village apartment during a category six hurricane.  2060. A group of rogue individuals struggle to find new identities and homes in the wreckage of once familiar landscapes. 2090. The firstborn of a self-governed settlement questions whether to follow his own will or the will of his people. It Will Rise Soon Enough is a cross-generational work of speculative theatre that examines how we might be forced to rethink our relationships to labor and capital as it pertains to our identities as we face increasingly dramatic changes to our climate.

Playwright Fiona Gorry-Hines

Fiona Gorry-Hines is a playwright, screenwriter, and educator. They were raised in Lexington, MA with five siblings and caught the theatre bug when they started acting as a child and realized they could get a lot of attention for it all while playing make-believe well past the socially acceptable age. Her play Of The Sea was workshopped at Dixon Place and staged at Access Theatre and was a finalist for the inaugural Thomas Wolfe International Play Prize. Other produced work includes You Can’t Touch My Sister I Ate In the Womb! (Columbia University), Our House (Gallatin Theatre Troupe), Helena’s Bird (Emerging Artists Theatre, Acorn Theatre), and Bruised (Midtown International Theatre Festival). They received their MFA in playwriting from Columbia University in 2022. More at fionagorryhines.com.
