Overview
“It takes so much, so much you have to go through, so much suffering, to be good, to get a small thing done out of goodness, for goodness. But if you’re bad, if you’re a shitty human being then whoop. You go straight to the top. Just like that.”
Once every hundred years or so, history literally repeats itself. The same men in power, the same wars, and the same innocent people dying in the millions. Embodying, in some way, the three witches of Macbeth, Ilta, Koko, and Chandni set out to play their part in the game of politics, power and violence.
We witness the events of one night, the night that everything is meant to come together. But Ilta has been thrown into jail where she awaits her hanging, disrupting the entire plan. Koko and Chandni must race against strange men, personal distractions, and time itself, to get her out, in order to successfully set history on the wrong track.
In light of the political climate today, the play tackles the difficult themes of gender, violence, death, and revolution Dwindle, Peak and Pine is set in a world where witchcraft and wars are equally prevalent and equally dangerous. Our protagonists will do bad things in order to hold on to any semblance of agency in a world where being good, sincere, and a woman gets you nowhere.
