| About the Play It is 2010 in New York City, at the height of the recession. At Carthage Financial, the members of the IT Department have to come to terms with the new reality of cutbacks, policy changes and the shifting sands of corporate double-speak and hidden agendas, as they all struggle to grapple with jobs that appear to have no meaning, and interpersonal relationships that probably have never existed. Strange goings on in the universe at large push them into a strange new land of myth, magic and the struggle to simply survive. |
