Last Night in Inwood

by Alix Sobler

A major disaster in Manhattan has everyone on the island looking for high ground. For Danny’s family and friends, that higher ground happens to be her one-bedroom apartment in Inwood. As the world outside goes to pieces, Danny tries to keep the peace among the assorted characters gathered in her space.
They might make it through this crisis if they can manage to survive each other.

    A powerful glimpse into mounting tensions in an age of turmoil with varying views. Together they need to get through it, but the arguments rise. Will they rely on each other or be torn apart? Riveting and well done.

    A deftly rendered micro-cosm of the city is brought together in an apartment as imminent disaster looms! Sobler has created a fascinating and naturalistic portrait of how a scenario such as this might play out in real life. The page-turning dialogue moves at a brisk pace and the world building, ever important in a science fiction piece, is subtle but richly layered and communicated mostly through the socio-cultural issues at play. I hope to see a production of this sometime in the near future!

    Last Night in Inwood is a dynamic and compelling page-turner, I imagine I will be on the edge of my seat watching a production of this soon. It's relevant, fast-paced, genre-bending, and nuanced. I'm such a fan of Alix's work, her dialogue is on point and her plot construction is sharp and well crafted. Additionally, her clear understanding of inherent situational conflict will leave you wanting more. This was a pleasure to read.
