Fresh Mountain Air at Drayton Arms Theatre

Written by Michael Eichler

Fresh Mountain Air is a story of guns, violence, racism, and politics and the deep divisions affecting all of us.

It follows three young American women who join a hiking organisation and meet for the first time in a secluded cabin in the woods. They return from their first hike to find the innkeeper and their three rental cars gone. It is getting dark, the nearest town is twenty miles away and there is no internet or phone service.

The women find a radio and decide to stay overnight and hike to town in the morning. They hear a radio bulletin announcing there has been a prison break at a nearby maximum security facility. They find a gun in the drawer. Is the threat outside the cabin or within?
