Coming soon to a live stream at your fingertips, Trinity Western University’s theater students have been hard at work preparing to showcase their talents in an ambitious project to bring this season’s production to the comfort and safety to your screen at home. All throughout the year, many in the entertainment industry have been hunkering down to devise several guerilla format attempts to entertain the masses now trapped at home; it’s only fitting that those preparing to join the industry would be learning to adapt their skills in the suite. Without the Rule of Law is a play centered around societal collapse, a post-apocalyptic coming of age story that follows a determined troupe of eighth graders as they consider the state of the world before them and pull together to survive. Among many of the descriptions advertising the play, is the intriguing characterization of the featured generation as ‘Doomers’, a play on the popular colloquialism ‘Boomers’ often used to refer to adults born between 1946 and 1964. The ‘Doomers’ seemingly in reference to the younger ‘Generation Z’ (born between 1995 and 2012) are thrust into a world on the edge of decay and must learn to brave its perils to survive. The dark comedy of the play is largely derived from the antics surrounding prepping for the apocalypse, but according to director and theater professor Angela Konrad, intrigue and spookiness emanate from how a production chosen very early on in the year has come to dramatically mirror the world we find ourselves in as 2020 draws to a close. Without the Rule of Law will debut online through live stream and video-on-demand on December 1^st. Those tuning in on premiere date will be treated to behind the scenes access, and all ticketholders are sure to find themselves drawn through their screens by what promises to be a humorous, deeply emotional, and mysterious performance by talented TWU students.
