Nathaniel Jones: 2 BY 2 (WIP)

2 BY 2 is a very stupid and very camp character-comedy show about Noah (of Biblical fame) and his Ark. It re-imagines the flood myth with Noah as a newly single gay man who thinks he’s embarking on his first cruise ship performer contract. Fleeing his old life (and ex-throuple) in search of a Cappella stardom on the Ark, Noah finds himself caught up in cosmic plans much larger and apocalyptic than he could have anticipated. The worst part? He’s surrounded by animal couples, alone at sea.

Inspired by questions like, “In a world of mass suffering, why am I one of the few privileged to survive?”, “Is there any hope for a society so selfish and indifferent?”, and “Did God intend for us to be polyamorous, or is it just wrong?”, 2 BY 2 really hits at the hardcore topics in life. The show was also conceived through a revelation that we (queers, horrible gays, and our adjacents) are just as entitled to exploit Biblical literature for our own purposes and morals as those who seek to exploit it for hatred. But this is a comedy!!
