A family dramedy inspired by ~actual~ Biblical events, Emily Bice’s before the flood is a contemporary reimagining of the night Noah told his family that a flood was coming, and that they were the only ones being saved. But what about the ones left behind? Brimming with humor and poignancy, this play turns the story of Noah's Ark into a full-hearted, feminist exploration of what we owe to each other – and to our planet – in times of crisis.
