The End of All Flesh

We’ve got the answers to the questions on your mind

We thank you kindly for attending this here show

But will you thank us for the telling of this story?

… We don’t know

‘Coz it’s a post-apocalyptical prognosticative tale

That transpires after crises of unprecedented scale

Like the ecologic meltdown that you probably expect

‘Coz the impact of your presence on the planet

Went unchecked.

A brilliant bluegrass musical from Tony Award-winning co-author of Urinetown Greg Kotis, (that) simultaneously trains our attention on the disastrous path that we’re on and offers an hour of much needed relief from the current atmosphere of dread to which the show itself points. A must-see. – Thinking Theater NYC, -John R. Ziegler and Leah Richards

 In the first of eleven ditties, Pa and Ma (Kotis and his actual wife Ayun Halliday) welcome us to their tale of a post-apocalyptic future: “Here’s how humanity will make its final stand. We hope you like the show, the actors, and the band. And if you find the tale too foolish or too cruel, you can leave, but we will keep your cash, no refunds is the rule.” I suppose there is some cruelty and tomfoolery in The End of All Flesh, but nobody is likely to leave. It’s too short, for one (60 minutes), and too many theatergoers are vying for too few performances. It’s also too funny. – New York Theater, Jonathan Mandell

Amid the rising tide of climate despair and governmental inertia, The End of All Flesh emerges as a singular theatrical tonic. – Hi! Drama, Tony Marinelli

The End of All Flesh is a lean, sharp parable dressed up in overalls and existential dread. It skewers everything from environment to philosophy, and intergenerational angst to inherited ideology without ever losing its sense of fun. – Stage and Cinema, Gregory Fletcher
