Smile Like a Knife. One hundred years from now, an androgynous guide is speaking to an audience of tourists. Humanity has evolved as a fusion of the organic and mechanic and the tourists are visiting the notable landmarks of a shrinking American city.

The play explores the corrosive effects of a cruel and divisive government as well as the human capacity for vengeance, redemption and self-invention.
