The Ten Thousand Things

May 23-June 16, 2008

a new play by Paul Mullin
directed by Braden Abraham

A mysterious messenger. A frustrated writer. A clock in the desert that will keep time for 10,000 years. A play that changes itself over time. Inspired by the 10,000 Year Clock Project of the Long Now Foundation, local playwright Paul Mullin (LOUIS SLOTIN SONATA, AN AMERICAN BOOK OF THE DEAD - "THE GAME SHOW") weaves science, futurism, philosophy and politics together in this world premiere exploring the deep future, directed by Braden Abraham (MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE).
