Why send Something Wicked to the moon? Because stories are spells, and this one carries a potent incantation about power, ambition, and the unseen forces that shape our world. In a time where history teeters between democracy and dictatorship, Something Wicked serves as both a warning and a reflection—a tale that future civilizations, or perhaps extraterrestrial wanderers, might uncover and wonder:
Did they heed the witches’ warnings?
Did ambition devour reason?
Did fate bend, or did it break?
The moon is a silent witness to humanity’s rise and reckoning. By sending Something Wicked beyond our planet, we inscribe into the cosmos a story that remains timeless—a message in a bottle floating in the great expanse, waiting for the next generation (or species) to unearth its meaning.
Because if history has taught us anything, it’s that power always seeks a crown—and someone must always ask: At what cost?

I wrote this play during the height of Covid and our mighty group produced a live-stream production. I adapted it into a stage play which will be produced this summer 2025. The story takes place in the future as the crew of the SS Resurrection journey to Titan in a last-ditch effort to save life on Earth. A trip to the moon for this piece is just fitting.
