BELIEVERS, by Patricia Milton
Directed by Sara Staley
Featuring: Jon Fast, Casey Fern, Kate Jones, Maria Giere Marquis.
Love.
Drugs.
Unexpected side effects.
Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Or is it better to find a pharmaceutical remedy?
Believers is an apocalyptic romantic comedy inspired by the Grimms fairy tale, The Frog King.
The world seems poised on the brink of environmental collapse. Inside a remote pharmaceutical lab, researcher Rockwell Wise is bent on creating a love vaccine to keep his heart safe. His ex-lover, drug developer Grace Wright, wants to create a love potion to rejuvenate our love-starved planet. When Grace is hired to lead Rocky's development team in the midst of a company crisis, they become locked in a struggle over love and drugs --- with unexpected side effects.
Based on research into the real-life possibility of creating a love vaccine to keep people safe from heartbreak, Believers delivers a prescription-strength dose of whacked-out comedy!
