Glow in the Dark (reading)

Performed as part of the Criterion New Writing Showcase 2024.

A provocative new play that examines the dangers of genetic engineering and human ambition.

Clarissa, a PhD dropout, wants to save the world by creating climate-resistant animals. But when her secret lab is broken into, she accidentally unleashes a swarm of genetically engineered rats into London. As panic, political turmoil and chaos ensues, it triggers a chain of events that threaten both humanity and the environment.
