Set in a modest Florida kitchen during a raging hurricane, The Last Key Lime Pie is a darkly funny and deeply heartfelt one-act about love, survival, and the absurdity of holding onto what matters most. As Doris and Earl - a long-married couple weathering both the storm outside and the cracks in their relationship - quarrel over the final slice of Doris’s treasured key lime pie, the conversation veers from playful bickering to raw confessions about commitment, loss, and what is worth saving.

Their fragile stalemate is upended by the arrival of Florida Man, a soaked, eccentric wanderer with outlandish tales of gators, raccoons, and chaos in the floodwaters. His intrusion transforms the battle for dessert into a surreal meditation on marriage, resilience, and the sweetness that lingers even when everything else is at risk of being blown away.

Balancing quick wit, absurd comedy, and poignant reflection, The Last Key Lime Pie reminds us that sometimes the smallest things - like a single slice of pie - carry the weight of memory, meaning, and love.

A hurricane, a marriage on the brink, a madcap intruder, and one last slice: what’s worth fighting for when the storm passes?
