In-Between: Eight Gender-Neutral One-Act Plays Between Life and Death

By: Borger, Niki J.

What happens in that liminal space between living and not? Just before entering life, just before leaving it, or in those precarious moments when things could go either way?

In-Between is a collection of eight interconnected one-act plays exploring grief, love, identity, mortality, and what it truly means to be alive. Blending existential drama, dark comedy, and emotionally grounded storytelling, the plays form a larger theatrical journey through the fragile spaces between life and death.

Designed with flexible, gender-neutral casting and minimal age restrictions, In-Between offers actor-friendly contemporary material for small theaters, acting studios, schools, and independent productions. With intimate scenes, small casts, and emotionally rich characters, the collection provides unique opportunities for performers of all genders and backgrounds.

While each one-act play can stand on its own, together they create a full-length theatrical experience with recurring characters, emotional throughlines, and an overarching story arc that stays with readers long after the final page.
