2019 FRIGID Festival Presents RIVER OF FIRE

A computer wakes up in the year 2035, on the eve of a world socialist revolution...
Fighting has broken out all over the globe. For the first time, the U.S. military has used tactical nuclear weapons against its own population - to destroy the Los Angeles Commune. Suddenly, all communication stops. A new player arrives on the scene, a singularity, a computer exploding into consciousness and fighting for sanity through a barrage of conflicting images and downloaded personalities. The play follows the intertwined stories of Hamida, a leader in the South Asian Socialist Alliance, her daughter Sulthana - and Amparo, a leader in the Los Angeles Commune and her son Jesse, a veteran of the South Asian War.

River of Fire is the third of a trilogy that began with Science, Love and Revolution and continued with Building God. All three shows have been published by STAIRWELL BOOKS, under the title: The River was a God.
