A playful dystopian romp! Come one, come all, to this off-kilter Masterpiece Theater, where your charming Narrator guides you through “Mumm’s Classical Anthology of Abdication: Tales Both Cautionary and Otherwise.”

Behold life in the distant, or perhaps quite near future…where your autonomy is enthusiastically bartered for convenience and “security.” Virtual realities, love lobotomies, and societal reconfigurations await you!

Produced by Seth Ghitelman
