Dungeons & Dragons-Inspired IN THE CASTLE OF ETERNAL SUNSET is Coming to Brick Aux

The Interstitial, a new-work producing partnership between Erica Wray and Morgan Grambo, presents Charles Green's In the Castle of Eternal Sunset: A Module for Ten 0th Level Characters, an experimental Dungeons & Dragons-inspired performance, at Brick Aux (628 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn) from August 9 to 13, 2023.

A play that changes with each performance-based on the roll of the dice-In the Castle of Eternal Sunset follows two teenage boys as they play a game of Dungeons & Dragons on an autumn day in 2004. As the teenagers roll to see what happens next, their different possible futures slowly unfold-both in, and outside, the game.

During the play, participating audience members will be prompted to read aloud fragments of text from their seats, determined randomly by the fall of the dice. The texts contain the hundred different possibilities of how the boys' lives might unfold. Their fates, then, are never set-until the die rolls, each performance, set them on their path-and the audience speaks their futures into being.

About The Interstitial

Six years into collaborating as a director-dramaturg pair, Erica and Morgan have launched The Interstitial to embrace the in-between. Collaborative, creative projects can often flounder in the spaces that exist between generation, exploration, and presentation. The Interstitial is interested in providing resources to embrace these interstitial moments in artistic development and support the artists that find themselves in these unmoored periods in a project's lifespan or working with an untraditional script that requires a unique collaboration. In February 2023, we presented Eric Marlin's Denial in A.R.T./New York's Dark Night Series @ the Gural in its first public audience introduction.
