Brought Up

A play about the visceral appeal of war and near-impossibility of peace.

The audience is cast as the crew of Nueva Manila’s last intrastellar warship the Dakilang Mandirigma. They must decide how far to take the orders of the hyper-capitalist theocrats they ostensibly serve.

If they can put down their weapons in time, they might get the chance to build a community with their former enemies where all people can be happy, safe and free.
