To Battle: a fight play
Written by José Pérez IV
Directed by Shannon Knapp
An adventurer appears, offering a quest. Adopting the eager Nat, and the reluctant Jo, as squires, the adventurer leads the two best friends on an unexpected journey through their seemingly dull town. The call to battle is answered. A parakeet must be avenged. And it starts to become clear: the adventurer is hiding something.
