Three women from different eras are sent to a magical island where they face charges of infidelity, and misconduct and will be sentenced to death or forced to drink the Passa Violet which will remove all passion forever. They form a tentative alliance in order to survive. Using their bodies and brains, they dare to tip the scale of justice in their direction.

WORLD OF TOMORROW is a three-act, historical fantasy about Robert Moses, in the waning years of his power, just before and during the time he was president of the 1964-65 World's Fair. It veers between naturalistic scenes in which he grapples with everyone from Nelson Rockefeller to the NY press in order to preserve and enlarge his power and influence - and fevered dreams in which he is teased and tormented by community organizer and urbanist Jane Jacobs.
Playwright: Bill McMahon
Director: Kathy Gail MacGowan
