As the century turns, the world is changing. Clipper ships can cross the oceans much faster than previous ships, bringing trade and news faster than ever. New inventions such as the telegraph, light bulb, and phonograph diminish the influence of time and distance. The steam engine has made trains and factories more and more prevalent, and the divide between the rich businessmen and the poor factory workers is great. Waves of immigrants coming to the United States have brought their own ideas and customs. In China, anti-foreigner sentiment has erupted into the Boxer Rebellion. |

This is the world of Boxed Set -- a play with guests as actors and scriptwriters. It is also a game, of sorts, though there are no winners or losers. Each character has goals -- information they wish to gain, or hide, or events they hope to bring about, or objects they wish to acquire. But as each character tries to attain their goals, they will uncover a weave of connections that hides the true story behind past, present, and future. |
