The Wild Boar of Chernobyl

By Francesca Pazniokas

In the wake of a devastating nuclear war, Americans have been forced to rebuild their lives underground. Scientists insist it's impossible for citizens to return to the surface, due to deadly radiation. But a fast-growing cult, led by a preacher and his mysterious family, believes otherwise. They're determined to reach the surface, no matter the cost. THE WILD BOAR OF CHERNOBYL is a futuristic fable about the struggle of faith vs. fact, and fanaticism vs. science.

*CONTENT WARNING:The genre of this play is horror and science fiction. Disturbing content includes cults, dismemberment/vivisection, body horror, dementia/memory loss, radiation, vomit, blood, death, bludgeoning, murder, mass suicide, childbirth, claustrophobia, acid burning, and implied cannibalism.

Francesca Pazniokas is a Brooklyn-based playwright and filmmaker whose work explores memory and fable, trauma and identity, obsession and the occult. Her plays have been produced in London, Toronto and Melbourne, as well as across the United States, and she was recently awarded Clubbed Thumb's 2020 Biennial Commission. Francesca holds a B.A. from Georgetown University in Art History and a Master's in Playwriting from Royal Holloway (University of London). francescapazniokas.com
