Spa Gods
Written by Lila Rose Kaplan
Directed by Rebecca Bradshaw
For all of time, the goddess Mona has created life – a baby, a flower bud, a poem, an orgasm – and now she’s going on strike, unwilling to make new things for a world possessed by anger and hate. Mona’s assistant hopes this is just a little disruption, something that can be fixed by a soothing massage in a luxurious day spa. But when the gods of war and death show up looking for Mona, comedy and catharsis ensue in Lila Rose Kaplan’s delightful new play about exfoliating scrubs and the end of the world.
