Best Time to Be Alive

A science fiction musical surrounding the dichotomy of head and heart and the reclamation of one's identity, Best Time to Be Alive asks the question: what would you give to have your heart back again? Would you sacrifice the world to save the one you loved?

SILAS. I-I don’t...

 

ANNA. No. You wouldn’t. Lizzie was my little sister. We lost her when she was fifteen. Heart problem, genetic, undetected until it was too late.  When she died, so sudden, it destroyed Mom. By the next year, she had died, too. Just like Arcus and Callisto.

 

SILAS. …I’m so sorry.

 

ANNA doesn’t look at SILAS.

 

ANNA. Yeah.
