Social Creatures

by Jackie Sibblies Drury

When a lone traveler who is different from the others enters their camp, it forces all of them to question what they have and will do to survive and what truly makes a monster. A surprisingly prophetic dark comedy from Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury.

From birth and school years, through courting and marriage, to death and, ultimately, the constants that remain when we are gone, the play reminds us to pay attention to the little things, because time moves quickly and tomorrow is not promised to us.
