Description

Like so many Americans, the citizens of Salvation Station struggled through the pandemic only to find they might not survive each other. Slubber Doffers captures the absurdity of the post-Covid zeitgeist through the public comment monologues presented at school board meetings over the course of a full year. Nearing 100, Crescentia Jensen longs for the good old days. New Age poet/goddess Nulaxia urges meditation and self-care. Fang Strong, the high school principal's bitter son, fights for his Satanic Society. Recently retired Harlowe Pendleton shares warnings from the dark web and frets about drones following him. Together the citizens grapple with racism and sexism, woke warriors and lice infestations. All the while, the community gropes closer toward the truth about the mysterious death of a beloved crossing guard and the secret lying at the bottom of that sink hole in the soccer field. For better, for worse, this is who we are.
