A Race’s End is a new original play developed through international research at the University of Oxford will receive its world premiere at Missouri University of Science and Technology in April 2026.

Written by Taylor Gruenloh, a faculty member in the Arts, Languages, and Philosophy Department, the production emerged from research conducted at the University of Oxford as part of the Manchester Harris Summer Research Institute, made possible by the Dean’s Office in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education.

The play, “Race’s End,” explores a dystopian future where technology has been restricted and characters are trying to escape the end of the world. Through a nonlinear structure that blends the present, unreliable memory, and speculative futures, the work examines questions of vulnerability, survival, and what it means to remain human in systems that seek to abstract or control the body.
