End Days
Sixteen-year-old Rachel Stein is having a bad year. Her father hasn’t changed out of his pajamas since 9/11. Her mother hands out pamphlets about the end of the world. Her new neighbor, a sixteen-year-old Elvis impersonator, has fallen for her hard. And, by the way, the Apocalypse is coming on Wednesday.
Rachel’s only hope is that Stephen Hawking will save them all. Both poignantly redemptive and often hilariously funny, End Days shows a quirky dysfunctional family coming together under unexpected circumstances.
“End Days begs the question of what we would hold most sacred if we knew the end was near.”– Huffington Post.
