A spiritual successor to 2017’s Tales from the Wasteland, Tales from the Metropolis is an anthology show consisting of 6 short plays written by 6 different writers. All plays are set in the same metropolitan future world and share similar themes and locations while differing in style and genre.

The writers have come up with interesting stories that range from an unlikely pair of robots looking for a bird to a loft evictee taking someone hostage to the slums of people killing each other and selling their bodies for food.
