a new play by Renee Philippi

Set in a dystopian society, The Waitress & The Robber explores themes of technological isolation and aging with humor and frivolity, while telling the story of a particular Waitress and Robber. The Waitress hates to see her older customers lonely, so she begins kidnapping them. Meanwhile, the Second Son, to avenge himself and liberate the people, becomes a robber and begins stealing cellular devices.
