Fate Is The Only Decider

By Nolan Richards

Philosophical Dark Drama // 6+ Any // 1 act (40 min.)

Inside a smoky 1920s jazz club known as The Open Flame, guests are dealt tarot cards that determine who they become and how they live. Presiding over it all is the sly and all-powerful Emcee, who insists that fate alone controls every life. But when the hopeful Star is broken, the Hermit returns transformed, and two patrons begin to question the roles forced upon them, the illusion of order cracks. As memories surface and an unknown figure steps forward to challenge the dealer of destinies, the club spirals toward collapse. A surreal and provocative one-act about identity, free will, mortality, and whether life has meaning without an ending.
