| Abstract: | Decades from now, in an era of altered realities, mind-augmentation and institutional terrorism, the dirty bombing of the Luton Maxwell Tower leaves Manhattan uninhabitable. Actress Naomi Verne, believed to have perished alongside billionaire-inventor Luton Maxwell, challenges Walter O’Dwyer, the new President of the American Union—the man she calls Daddy—to a rendezvous. Now on board the hyper-yacht “Luton Maxwell” a struggle ensues between the players—one of whom seems all but dead. |
| Description: | That The Multitude May Live is a one-act science fiction play with elements of psychological drama and love story, written by John Bandler.

The play was staged for Hamilton Fringe Festival at the Citadel Studio (July 19-23, 2012) and directed by Bandler.
