Trash Diggers is a play about seemingly incurable sadness. It is shown to us through the lens of Eugene, a scientist who is researching Wrangel Island, which is filled with the world's saddest people. His aim is to bring these people back to life through a system of memory retrieval that utilizes shared memories, a WHAM machine, and a magic walrus. This research is conducted by Pam, a mother determined to bring her daughter, Joan, back from the void of Wrangel Island. Pam is aided in her search by Jelly, a fellow Trash Digger who loves sugar (but of course, they all do). Trash Diggers is a playful approach to discussing the subject of depression and how we interact with mental illness, both as the people who suffer from it and the people who love them.
