Harvest is a powerful futuristic drama exploring organ donation, poverty, and the commodification of human bodies. Set in a dystopian society, it follows a family on the brink of financial ruin who become targets of a shadowy organ-harvesting corporation. Confined to a single, dilapidated room, the family’s survival depends on the youngest son’s forced sale of his body, while their lives are upended by an unseen power that monitors their every move. As the lines blur between safety and surveillance, Harvest poses urgent questions about autonomy, ethics, and the cost of desperation. With sharp dialogue and a gripping narrative, the play offers a chilling look at the choices people make under pressure—and the systems that shape them.
