Where Words Once Were
Where Words Once Were by Finegan Kruckemeyer is a dystopian fable that looks at life in the last city on Earth, where the citizens have adopted The Language, a set of 1,000 words that are permissible to use. Those who speak words not recognized by The Language consequently lose their right to speak. When seeds of resistance begin to sprout, allegiances of the citizens are tested, causing everyone to question the power of their words. This production was staged following the COVID-conscious protocols that University of North Carolina at Greensboro adopted for its 2020-2021 live theatre season.
