The World is Ending and Maybe That’s Kinda Hot: an aggressively modern, glitter and lollypops adaptation of Boccaccio's The Decameron. Insufferable/irresistible 20-something young nobles escaping the Black Death in the Italian countryside tell each other stories to help forget about the Death Everywhere bit. Weingarten's satirical, R-rated ensemble comedy comedy asks, "Can it be kinda hot as the world ends?" while also reflecting on the true power of storytelling in times of turmoil.

“This play captures the chaos of being young and sexy and flawless and gross and understands that all those things added together equal armagaddon. More classical adaptations like this, that tear the original apart and have sex with the pieces.” --playwright Matt Minnicino

(Release your grip on your pearls--you can thank Boccaccio for the salacious bits. The Vatican already put it on their Index of Banned Books in 1559.)
