PIE is a comedic exploration of what happens when we don’t know what to do. The play begins as four arm-chair experts arrive at a panel discussion, only to find that the moderator is a no show. As tensions rise, a Rube Goldberg-like chain of accidents slowly tips. The characters have a collective emotional breakdown and accidentally hit the restart button on the universe. A skewed history of reality follows, from moments before the Big Bang to the electronic baroque of today. PIE is the 2017 National Theatre Project Award Winner.
