By Tom Cone

Donald and Lenore is a seductive play about survival. Set in the Tahitian Lounge, three floors below an airport hotel parking lot, a ruthless diva and a nervous convict create paradise in a bomb shelter, passionately performing their existential cabaret until no one is left. And now the play begins.

The world premiere of a new work by internationally renowned playwright Tom Cone, author of Herringbone, True Mummy, Cubistique and the libretto for Vancouver Opera's The Architect.
