Until one night, when Ronnie's soldiers smuggle into her office the greatest war criminal in the world: her brother Abbie, the foremost human ally of the extraterrestrials. When dawn comes, the people of Ronnie's settlement will certainly discover him and rip him to pieces. As Ronnie grapples with an awful decision about what to do with the man she hates and loves in equal measure, Abbie makes one last desperate move, forcing a confrontation that will forever change the future of the human race.
Unfolding over two suspenseful real-time acts, Sovereign brings The Honeycomb Trilogy to a wrenching and unforgettable climax.
REVIEWS:
CRITICS PICK! "As in Blast Radius, Mr. Rogers displays an impressive control over his sprawling material, creating a convincing post-apocalyptic world inside a sturdy theatrical structure... Sovereign has a driving pace and a sneaky theatrical intelligence."
The New York Times
CRITICS PICK! "The crackling alien-takeover drama can operate independently of its former installments. In fact, winding blind through the narrative maze... creates the sensation of gradually unfolding truth, of hearing a story at the edge of great complexity."
Time Out, NY
CRITICS PICK! "...a play every bit as rich and daring as the previous two... ably completing the long and stirring transmutation through which Rogers has taken these characters -- from small domestic anxieties to far-reaching debates about mankind's survival in the face of oppression and moral decay."
Backstage
"This is science fiction, but first and foremost, it's effective drama... I feel honored to have borne witness to this magnificent series in its entirety. Go."
Broadwayworld.com
"...an intimate, emotional work, bridging the head and the heart without ever resorting to pathos or unearned sentiment. The emotional material here is so deft that it pushes for real estate on a par with Shakespeare, Ibsen and O'Neill... So mane the time to catch this show -- you'll regret it if you don't."
New York Press
The Honeycomb Trilogy was originally presented by Gideo Productions in three separate productions over the first half of 2012 at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City, NY. Sovereign premiered in June 2012 under the direction of Jordana Williams.
