An End-of-the-World Road Trip and a Lifetime of Love
In We Burned So Bright, TJ Klune documents the final days of Earth through the perspective of Don and Rodney, an elder gay couple married for forty years. With a rogue black hole set to destroy the planet in one month, the husbands embark on a final, cross-country road trip from Maine to Washington State to settle their unfinished business. Along the journey under a kaleidoscope sky, they encounter various individuals navigating the impending destruction—some rushing toward it, others finding solace in impromptu community and shared meals. The narrative provides a close look at the human capacity for resilience and the profound reflection required when asking if a life lived was truly enough.

This 6-hour performance is a significant choice for listeners seeking intimate, character-driven narratives focused on found family and the heavy personal realities of the end of the world.
