Sabir and Katar defend the empire from atop the wall separating the Great Plain from the Barren Plain. But wait. Which plain is which? They’re going to have to figure it out quickly: riders are approaching, the wolfing hour is closing in and Sabir keeps talking to his helmet.

Press

"A short, surprising dynamo of a theatre piece, packed with surreal humour. An exciting, existential read."

- Alberta Playwriting Competition Jury

“This delightful two-hander romps at such a quick clip that one almost misses the philosophical questions being tossed back and forth between Sabir and Katar as they try to fulfill their soldiering duty.”

– Sara Culkin, VUE Weekly, 2015
