“There’s Nothing You Can Do” explores a group of recently reconnected friends who fall into a collective quarter-life crisis as they come to the realization that their lives aren’t what they imagined they’d be as they turn, or near, 30. The play recontextualizes the very real “dancing plague of 1518” as a way to explore this existential-anxiety, and posits that when life doesn’t make sense anymore, all that’s left is to dance.
