ABOUT THE PLAY
Teddy Passanante and Anzor Khasanov are eleven-year-old pen pals. Teddy is a half-Korean nerd enduring constant prejudice despite living in a liberal U.S. made up of what used to be the Blue States. Anzor is the child of Muslim refugees trapped in the militant right-wing Christian theocracy that used to be the Red States. The boys know their correspondence is mandated and monitored by Anzor’s government. THE SECOND WORLD TRILOGY, which also features the plays PANGEA and THE KNOWN UNIVERSE, chronicles Teddy and Anzor’s love story from the alternate 2020 of MARIANAS TRENCH all the way to the literal end of the world.
