It’s 2029. California is ravaged by fires, droughts, floods, political paralysis, civil unrest. Two anti-capital punishment activists, Rex Nightly and Urban McChen, have kidnapped the Governor of California in order to gently torture him into issuing a stay of execution for the alleged serial killer and cannibal, Billy the Goat (a gentle soul and a vegeterian). But the Governor accidentally dies, and his body has to be hidden in the closet of Rex’s penthouse. Meanwhile, Rex’s wife, Lieutenant Governor Sofina Nightly, hatches an ambitious plan to reestablish order and save the state, blissfully unaware that the governor lies dead in her closet…
Set against a backdrop of climate catastrophe and technological evolution, Hear Us Fade is a moving and thought-provoking black comedy that presents a haunting view of the future.
