The Soulmate Play is a play about soulmates…. right? Under the guidance of iconic playwright-director Ari, two kapok trees fight forest fires; June and Bernard exchange vows (to fight Nazis); Philip and Christopher dick around in iambic pentameter; Nefertiti and Iw ascend the pyramid of bad-bitchery. But also, 0 and 1 are rewriting the plot? Subverting traditional conventions of storytelling through meta-theatricality, grandiosity, and an ice-cream-bucketful of heart, this romantic epic pulls the curtain up on these star-crossed lovers and their journeys through time and space to find the rightful purpose of love.
