About the Play
The Melon Princess is stuck in a tale of abuse for eternity. Erika plays in a feminist rock band and gets lost in an ancient forest. Fox must collect “Incandescents” before they turn into monsters. A fateful night brings them all together across time and space to forge a friendship that will break the spell and create everlasting healing.
