Storied

by Bradley Walton

Storied is a meta-theatrical full-length play following three teenagers thrust into a surreal realm where spoken words instantly come to life.

Trapped in a war between good and bad ideas, the trio receives an ultimatum: hunt down and destroy the single worst idea in existence, or watch their reality crumble. 

Featuring a cast of iconic literary figures (and a few delightfully unexpected ones) Storied delivers a sharp, inventive look at narrative power, asking who truly controls the story, and what happens when the story takes control of us.
