A collection of four plays set in worlds not quite like our own—one a fictional medieval embassy from a country devastated by plague and civil war, another an academic institution so insular and study-focused it's nicknamed a "monastery"—each with a brief afterword providing commentary on the origins of the play.
First in the collection is “Beach Realty of Sandcastle Isle,” a ten-minute play tracking the power struggle between two property managers over a steadily eroding island, followed by “He Molested Kids,” a short play in which a group of college students discuss allegations surrounding the savior of the world, and a bit of small talk becomes an explosive argument. “Monastery,” an hour-long play, focuses on a different group of students who attend a "monastery," as they debate whether or not they should drop out. Closing out the anthology is "We'll Tell Happy Stories," a short full-length piece following two refugees from a destroyed country, posing as ambassadors, as they struggle to deal with a new decree expelling all foreigners from their host country.
