None Escape is an adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells set in a trauma support group in the present day. The story follows Prentiss, who tells the support group her story of being shipwrecked on a mysterious island inhabited by Moreau, a scientist conducting disturbing experiments in vivisection, transforming animals into human-like creatures. As Prentiss tells her story, the space and actors around her become the set, the props, and the characters.
